Ship Creek

  • Address: Whitney Rd., Downtown, Anchorage, AK | Map It

Fodor's Review:

The creek is dammed here, with a footbridge across the dam. You'll see a waterfall; salmon running upstream from June through August; anglers; and, above it all, downtown Anchorage. Farther upstream (follow Whitney Road and turn left on Post Road), is the Elmendorf salmon hatchery -- during the runs you can see salmon in the clear, shallow water as they try to leap up the falls.
