Stopped here while spending a couple days in Fairbanks. Went early morning and only saw a couple other people. Great birdwatching, bring your binoculars. We saw many sandhill cranes as well as some other cranes and many small birds. It was a nice place to take a walk on the trails and see a surprising amount of wildlife.

We (me, kids 17 and 12) rented snow shoes from Beaver Sports, about a mile or so further west on College Road. They were helpful in kitting us out and giving us advice about where to go to walk so we ended up at Creamer's. Park at the Visitors' Center (only open for a few hours at the weekend in... More
