Wedgewood Wildlife Sanctuary — Attraction in Fairbanks

Beautiful, safe place to take a little stroll with family or even alone. The trails are made of compact rocks and are very well maintained. I went during the fall on a beautiful sunny day. I've never heard of a wheelchair safe trail, but on days like this you could definitely take a wheelchair if your heart desired. Unfortunately they do not allow dogs on the trail, but maybe you could dress your dog as grandma and cart him around in the wheelchair. I dunno.

I loved the tons of signs telling all sorts of facts about the wildlife and there was never a moment where I feared I was lost or had to wonder how long the trail was.

The only thing that gave me a little bit of a hard time was finding the trail entrance. When you enter the resort just stick to the main little road and follow the signs to the car museum entrance. You can park here. There is a little trail between the car museum and the woods that leads you directly to the trail head.

The Wildlife Sanctuary was beautiful and relaxing and something I can see myself visiting very often. Hope you get a chance to enjoy it...

Seems nice, didn’t get a chance to go on it. I looked the place up online and after looking at some photos I saw, thought I’d try it out and bring my trusty companion with me to give it a shot. I arrived on scene only then to figure out dogs weren’t allowed. No where on the site or when looking then up did I realize this was a no dog walking trail. Only after seeing the post with a sign did I realize. I may have not looked in the right spot, or the note is small and hard to find, but I did not know this was a non-walking dog place until getting there. A note or some sort of evident indication should be added/made online to help avoid future people who unknowingly bring their companions to be turned around at the trail head to look for other...

The hotel we stayed at was within walking distance of the trails and Creamer’s Dairy wildlife sanctuary. The trails were surrounded by trees and the path was easy to walk. Great signage, places to sit and the little lake provided such a serene view. The wildlife sanctuary was filled with sandhill cranes during my stay and again trails throughout were flat and allowed a pleasant stroll through primarily open fields. There were some small water areas that also attracted ducks and geese. I was too early to check out the refuge’s visitor center. I was fortunate as the mosquitoes were non-existent. These two areas were a huge bonus to an already awesome first...
