• Portage Lake Overlook - provides a breathtaking view of Portage Lake and the surrounding Chugach Mountains. Situated off Portage Glacier Road, approximately an hour’s drive south of Anchorage, this overlook offers visitors a sweeping perspective of the turquoise lake nourished by glacial melt and, on clear days, views of Portage Glacier in the distance.
• Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center - Positioned about an hour south of Anchorage, near the Seward Highway, this 200-acre center allows visitors to observe native species such as bears, moose, bison, musk oxen, elk, caribou, eagles, and wolves up close in naturalistic settings.

Visitors can walk or drive the 1.5-mile loop around the grounds, participate in guided tours, or join feeding sessions and educational talks.

• Beluga Point - This location is renowned for two attractions:
  ✅ Beluga whale watching — in late summer and early fall, beluga whales can often be seen swimming near the shore, pursuing salmon during the incoming tide.
  ✅ Spectacular mountain and water views — it is a favorite spot for photographers, especially at sunset, and is also excellent for spotting Dall sheep on the cliffs above.
• Potter Marsh Bird Sanctuary - Features a long wooden boardwalk (about 1,550 feet) that meanders over marshland, offering visitors an intimate view of a diverse array of wildlife, particularly waterfowl, shorebirds, bald eagles, salmon, and occasionally moose or beavers.

This family-friendly, easily accessible location is perfect for birdwatching, photography, and nature walks, especially in spring and summer when the birds are most active. There is a small parking area, interpretive signs, and binoculars are recommended for optimal viewing.
