Seward Highway
Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge, AK
Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge extends from Point Woronzof southeast to Potter Creek, a distance of 16 miles, but is best known for that portion located between the Old and New Seward highways called "Potter Marsh." Potter Marsh was created in 1917 with construction of the Alaska Railroad embankment. A boardwalk takes visitors to edge of the marsh where they can view several different species of bird and plant. Thousands of people stop to view wildlife at Potter Marsh each year. It is easily Anchorage's most popular wildlife haven.
