Wedgewood Wildlife Sanctuary

The Wedgewood Wildlife Sanctuary is a naturally beautiful reserve that is home to an impressive variety of Interior Alaska’s wildlife. Owned by Wedgewood Resort and connecting to the Creamer’s Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge, the sanctuary offers a prime opportunity for visitors to enjoy a quiet nature walk around Wander Lake. More than 120 bird species, 15 kinds of mammals, three species of fish, one amphibian and a wealth of insects and plants have been recorded in the sanctuary. These include migratory birds as well as year-round resident chickadees, redpolls, owls, flying squirrels and moose. You can explore how plants and animals survive Alaska’s extreme climate by reading the Sanctuary Discovery signs located along the trails.
