Large beaver dam, with a bit of luck you can also see the beaver.

We saw a moose in the woods about 30 yards away.

Creamers Field is a former dairy farm turned 2,200-acre migratory wildlife refuge. It also has a handful of trails that are great for stretching your legs when you want a run without a lot of elevation gain — and it ties into several other nearby trails if you want to log more distance. Depending on your goals, this can also be an excellent place to warm up or cool down, either before or after a longer run. If you happen to visit in the spring or fall, you might also be lucky enough to see spectacular crowds of sandhill cranes.

If you're looking for a challenging trail run in the Skagway area, this is it. Even hiking here is a challenge, with steep inclines that may sometimes drop you out of a running pace and are virtually guaranteed to give you calves of steel.

Some beaver dams just above the main Horseshoe Lake have created a few separate small ponds. You can go to the end of this tiny spur trail to see the dams up close and get next to the edge of the water.

Technically you are on the east shore of Lake Spenard, but you may often here this lake lumped in as a part of Lake Hood (just to the west). These lakes were once separate, but now appear to be a contiguous — if oddly shaped — body of water, thanks to a seaplane taxi/takeoff canal that was dredged between them. Please don't touch the seaplanes you'll see positioned around the lake. They are all either privately or commercially owned.

Lake Spenard in Anchorage, Alaska, is a beautiful and peaceful lake with a rich history. It was originally a natural lake that became expanded and connected to Lake Hood through the construction of an airport dike in the 1930s. Today, it is part of the world's busiest seaplane base, Lake Hood Seaplane Base, where hundreds of floatplanes take off and land each day. Besides its aviation significance, Lake Spenard remains a popular spot for recreational activities such as kayaking, boating, and enjoying the stunning mountain views.
