Ship Creek
Ship Creek is the conduit for significant runs of king, silver and pink salmon. Fish arrive on the incoming tide. At high water eggs hung beneath a bobber seem to do the best. As the tide lowers and the creek narrows a fly rod is the right choice for working the riffles and narrowing channels. Much of the creek bottom is gravel and easy to traverse. But glacial silt and mud can capture a fisherman and hold him necessitating an embarrassing rescue. If you find yourself stuck, call for help immediately as tidal changes are dramatic and quick.

Beluga Point, Alyeska, Portage.
Beluga Point is a place where you can stand so close to feeding Beluga whales that you can hear them breathe! Just a few minutes past the weigh station on the Seward Highway south of Anchorage, it is a beautiful place to watch the waters of Turnagain Arm display their power or sit and consider the sunset.
If you're thinking of walking on that mud, please DON'T! Several people have perished because this stuff literally seems to suck you under.
