Park along the access road at Sunny Point, off Egan Drive across from Switzer Creek. You can walk across wetlands at low tide. Respect private land. In early spring, this is an excellent place to see feeding Canada geese. A scenic view turnoff for inbound traffic at Mile 6, Egan Drive, offers a view of most of the refuge and the Thomas Glacier.
Ample parking is available.
Interpretive signs on the viewing platform explain the natural history of the refuge. Use caution when hiking the wetlands here because there are rapidly flooding tides. Waterfowl concentrate near the mouth of Salmon Creek in late summer and early fall, when spawning salmon migrate upstream. Drive to the large parking lot at Mile 8.5, North Douglas Highway, just before the Fish Creek bridge. Pink and chum salmon migrate up Fish Creek to spawn in late summer and early fall.
