University of Alaska Southeast
11066 Auke Lake WayAlso lovingly referred to as the Bad Dog Trail, the Mendenhall Wetlands State Game Refuge is a place locals take good dogs who don’t listen very well on their daily walks. Local bird watchers also flock here to catch glimpses of many of the beautiful winged species that make this place their habitat. If you’re into dogs, bird watching, or just soaking up Juneau’s beauty, a stroll out onto the wetlands here will give you your daily dose of awe.
