This is one of those places you should take the time to slow down and enjoy the town of Seward, the friendly residents, good restaurants and beautiful scenery. The walk along the bay goes from the port to the Sea Life Center. Near the port their are restaurants and shops. Further down are campgrounds. There are rest rooms and a park with playground equipment. Watching the techniques of the fishermen and women is interesting with salmon jumping all about. Beautiful blue waters, mountains and today a rainbow! A place we won’t ever forget.

Bear Creek Weir

We parked and watched the salmon swimming and jumping upstream. This is to the left of the building; cross the street to view salmon jam-packed in the creek! They are jumping and splashing; it’s fascinating to watch their spawning struggle.
