The Fourth of July Creek is a creek on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. It rises on the upper Resurrection Peninsula from various small glaciers in the Chugach Mountains and flows 5 miles (8.0 km) to empty into Resurrection Bay near Seward.[1][2]
Fishing[]
Fishing for salmon is not permitted in the Fourth of July Creek. However, its delta remains a popular fishing spot, as Resurrection Bay has a very productive silver salmon fishery.[3]
