Alaska is a paradise for those interested in wildlife viewing. There are many natural sights to see in this great state as well. Volcanos, glaciers, and hundreds of bird species too numerous to mention are all located here in the 49th state. An adventure in Alaska can be had featuring all these sights and more along the Big River Lake.
Big River Lake is one of the most popular spots for not only seeing glaciers and wildlife, it is the scene every summer of some of the world’s best fishing. Not far from Anchorage, the major air hub of the state, the Big River Lake and nearby Wolverine Creek are full of salmon going upriver to spawn.
This not only brings out the fishermen, it also brings out their furry compatriot fishermen – brown and black bears. Brown bears, also known as the grizzly bears, can be seen walking the beaches in search of food and it is an impressive sight.
