Bird Creek Alaska - South from Anchorage Along the Seward Highway.

Heading south along the Seward Highway from Anchorage near the little town of Indian you come to a new bridge spanning the tidal waters of Bird Creek. After crossing the bridge, there are parking areas on both the inlet side and creek sides of the road.

Most of the salmon fishing is done here at the mouth of the creek and out into the tidal areas as the tides recede. Be careful not to get into the muck as it's very difficult if not impossible to free yourself from it and the tides in turnagain arm flood this area very rapidly.
