Southeast Alaska Birding Trail Wrangell

City Park

Great place to view a variety of seabirds and shorebirds.

City Park is located 1 mile south of downtown Wrangell and provides beach access for watching seabirds and shorebirds. The park has areas for picnicking and camping as well as a walking and bike path that starts at City Park and follows the shoreline of Zimovia Strait for 3 miles to Shoemaker Park—another birding trail location. Watch for Harlequin Duck, Barrow’s Goldeneye, Varied Thrush, Chestnut-backed Chickadee, and a variety of species of shorebirds.
