Ce lieu est célèbre pour deux raisons : ✅ L'observation des bélugas : à la fin de l'été et au début de l'automne, vous pourrez peut-être apercevoir des bélugas nager près du rivage, chassant le saumon à marée montante. ✅ Des vues spectaculaires sur les montagnes et l'eau : c'est un lieu de prédilection pour les photographes, surtout au coucher du soleil, et c'est également un endroit idéal pour observer les mouflons de Dall sur les falaises qui les surplombent.

It features a long wooden boardwalk (about 1,550 feet) that winds over marshland, giving visitors an up-close view of a wide variety of wildlife, especially waterfowl, shorebirds, bald eagles, salmon, and even moose or beavers. This is a family-friendly, easy-access spot ideal for birdwatching, photography, and nature walks, especially in spring and summer when the birds are most active. There’s a small parking lot, interpretive signs, and binoculars are recommended for the best viewing.
