    Running

    Once an old gravel pit, Westchester Lagoon is now one of the crowning jewels of Anchorage. Locals come here to canoe and kayak, watch the waterbirds that gather in the protected waters of the lagoon, or enjoy the paved, multi-use trails that run along three sides of the lagoon. There is also a rushing creek where you can occasionally see salmon working their way in from the ocean to spawn.
