So beautiful. Saw a lot of birds, some moose prints, salmon moving up the creek, and it was peaceful...minus the bus loads of tourists and the shooting range constantly going off across the street and the highway constantly moving...Ill come back in the winter.

We visited here around 10pm. We got to enjoy the sunset. Right before that we got to see some sea otters through the binoculars (the ones on the decks, not our own). It was awesome. We also saw some salmon. Would definitely come here again around the same time.

So many different birds and a great place to walk and take in the fresh crisp air.

I see something different every time I come here. Being so close to Anchorage, it is a must see for nature lovers and shutterbugs. The photos really do speak for themselves!

Nice place for bird watching and moose seeing. Wood walk good. Make sure to avoid the noise

Beautiful marshlands accidently man made

Spectacular Wildlife seeing on summer

The one ramp/trail leading to the parking lot was not marked that it was not wheelchair accessible.

It is worth your visiting when you come to Anchorage.

We saw ducks, puffins, an eagle and lots of Salmon. Easy to get to. Great parking. The board walks keep your feet dry and you up high to see the wildlife that day. Some viewfinders and binoculars free for you to use.

Right next to a highway... you can hear the traffic really loudly. Kinda sad.

Great place for bird watching. Wheel chair accessible. Pit restroom. Can also see spawning Pinks and Silver Salmon.

Beautiful scenery and a very calming place

Great place to unwind and be with nature. Just avoid the crowds and all the noise, open your ears and eyes and you can learn a lot

Relaxing walk in nature. We saw lots of ducks and other water foul. Also saw some salmon in the steam. Lots of amazing views!

Great place to relax and do a little walking.

Beautiful place to wander and spot all types of birds and fish. Wooden walkways traverse this peaceful place

Great brew pub. Great customer service. Not over peopled like other places in downtown Anchorage.

Lovely although very few birds and waterfowl in late September as they are migrating. Did see some ducks, trumpeter swans, and others.

Beautiful place to see great views and clear your mind.

Quiet today with only ducks present

Extensive wooden boardwalk with signage on one end. Other end simply has a gravel pullout, I think (we didnt stop). Parking lot has a pit toilet. When we went in the summer there was a camp host. Paw prints in the cement in the parking lot sidewalk. Summertime children playing, but be patient; they arent. Saw some salmon and several birds. Meandering water which is sometimes heard, not seen. Peaceful. Evening brings mosquitos. Probably a good outing to bring bug spray.

Worth the visit. Lucky to have this available so close to Anchorage.

Pretty spot off the highway to go birdwatching

Very nice seen alot wildlife

Beautiful, serene... Well, except for the rifle range nearby.

A nice short walk on a well maintained elevated path. It is out and back, not a loop. If it looped it would get a higher rating. The path has several bridges over creeks so there is a chance of seeing salmon run if the season is right. Good place to see birds. I saw signs of moose, but no actual moose sightings here for me.

Just a beautiful place to be!

Scenic boardwalk bird watching close to Anchorage

Potters Marsh isnt only a bird sanctuary, its also a people sanctuary. This is a great place to take visitors or just a nice stop for locals who want to take a break from the highway. In the winter you can often skate here, in the fall look for swans, and in the summer pick some wild sweet gale.

Alska is beautiful city.

Have been here many times; you never know what youre going to see but its always beautiful.

A quiet place to watch the birds

Neat place to watch the Salmon and a few birds. Minus one star for the loud traffic, but interesting interpretive signs and beautiful boardwalk. Very family friendly.

This place has some wildlife like moose(rarely), birds and bald eagles. There is trail in which people say you may spot a bear, if you are lucky, but I did not take up the trail. Not a very good spot for wildlife viewing. It has lots of bugs and mosquitoes, as you near the marsh. I gave 4 stars, because we closely got to view a moose with its calf.. Not a must see place!!!

A surprisingly awesome place!

If you are doing the drive from the Kenai to Anchorage, this is a worthy stopping point. The boardwalks take you out into the wetlands where there are great birding opportunities. I particularly enjoyed watching the salmon swimming upstream.

Very nice bird sanctuary just south of Anchorage. A must-see for birdwatchers, but also for anyone else who loves to watch the beautiful scenery of Alaska

Safe and fun!

Any sanctuary is good sanctuary

A peaceful experience

We didnt see anything. We didnt have binoculars. If youre lucky might see some birds.

Always clean and has bathrooms. One of my favorite walks in Anchorage! Boardwalks over the marsh give you a unique view.

Very nice view of the wet lands there, board walk stretchable pretty far maybe a quarter mile, you can spot eagles nest and Eagles on the far left side of the walk away from the high way. Also a dirt path that leads to parking moose can be spotted there too. On the walk by the high way underneath the walk theres salmon.

Beautiful stop

Amazing display of nature. We were there during the salmon run season. A huge, 42 inch, King lingering just below one of the walking bridges.

Love the scenery while walking up and down the boardwalk. Its a great place for fresh air and bird spotting.

I love the boardwalk. Depending on the time of year, you get to see a variety of wildlife up close without disturbing them.

Great place to take pictures or go for a walk. Always wildlife here

Great boardwalks and good moose viewing along old rabbit creek road. Great ice skating in the winter.

Spectacular views and wildlife. Close to many other beautiful highway stops.

Very cool

A fantastic bird and wildlife viewing venue right in the middle of an urban setting.

Pretty good views. Nice place for a quick walk. Road noise is a bummer tho, but its ok.

Great views. Nice place to sit and relax.

Great spot for watching wild life, seen all kinds of creatures.

A must visit place!

Simply amazing.

A little disapointing as far as the wildlife. The Last Frontier didnt provide any bear or moose sightings. Large salmon were swimming upspring though and we saw a bald eagle and ducks.

Its set up to watch wildlife without going too far outside Anchorage. We saw a bald headed eagle at its nest with its two young.

Good to transverse the boardwalk to see the birds below you in the Marsh land below

Nice place to take a walk and bird watch, for an hour or so. Not a big board walk.

Beautiful scenery and a chance to see bears and eagles

Saw my first moose in the loose!

Great spot

Saw a kingfisher!

Peaceful

Nature boardwalk area.
