creamer's field migratory waterfowl refuge印象

I love this place. It is so cool to see the different birds come and go during the seasons. I don't know much about birds but there are some really devoted people there who love to share their knowledge.

Was a nice afternoon to see the birds. Take binoculars if you have them. Not many people. Very relaxing and peaceful. Take a lunch and have a picnic.

We went just off season. It was not very crowded and there were no bugs.There are several hiking loops. The boreal forest loop was particularly tranquil. There were also quite a few identifiable migratory birds in the area.
-
Grounds are beautifully managed for migrating waterfowl, waders, and other birds. Although we missed the huge flocks that spend summers there, we did get up close to several Sandhills cranes. A thrill for me!

Very quiet and beautiful. Sure it would be beteer in summer for the wildlife but still worth a visit

I love to follow the trails and walk in Creamer's field, it is a respite in the middle of town, and you feel like you had hours away to think, even it you only took 30 minutes. A treasure for Fairbanks and a delight for all.

My wife and I snowshoed around the former dairy and enjoyed the ice covered trees and level trails. If you know about animal tracking, you're likely to get even more out of the property. It's a nice place to walk around and get some fresh air. If you're there in January though, dress warmly.

If you want to just wander by yourself, the trails are clearly marked and have some great information posted throughout, explaining different formations or landscapes throughout.If you check the times at the adorable old farmhouse, you can catch a guided tour with one of the many avid Creamer's Field volunteers who will regale you with the history of Charlie Creamer and his farthest-north dairy. The old farmhouse is the original, as are the barns.The Fish and Games guy is often out and about, and he is incredible to talk to. A bit all over the place, but super smart and knowledgeable and a blast to talk to. He can and will mimic any animal call in the area, and knows everything about Fairbanks and the boreal forests. He will also have no problem sharing all of this info with you, so be prepared to learn EVERYthing. The farmhouse has informational displays set up in it, as well as a small gift store with mainly local-volunteer-made artwork and gifts. They do lots of school groups and events, and have a Crane Festival and an Artist Walk as well, which are great.If you come in winter, all the fields are opened up to skiers, snowshoers, skijorers, dog sleds, and walkers. Some trapping is permitted in certain places, and it abutts with the local musher's hall. There's about 5 miles of trails that open up when the last cranes leave.The cranes that come through in summer are incredible! Thousands of them are just wandering the fields and pond, flying, dancing, raising their strangely violent babies and chasing foxes, and it is amazing to witness. Don't harass them, though. That would make you a jerk. Stay on the trails in summer and explore the paths and viewing towers and have fun.Best. Place. Ever. Bring your dog and a leash. Everyone's welcome.

I was introduced to sandhill cranes and their migration in Indiana USA. It was wonderful to see them here in their northernmost habitat. There is a beautiful and most interesting walk through arboreal forest to the rear of the Refuge. The walk is on raised platforms through the trees with some very interesting comment available on plaques along the way. It is not a long walk, just a pleasant amble for about 30-45 minutes. We visited in September with the leaves turning and cool weather - it was lovely.

When I was there I saw more mosquitoes than birds. Nice ground and saw a red squirrel. I guess I was there at a bad time.
