Last spring, AWCC opened a new road to an area that we refer to simply as “The Point”. This area is the
piece of land where the Turnagain Arm ends, and is the meeting point of 20 Mile, Portage, and Placer
Valleys. From the extreme tides of the Turnagain Arm, to salmon and other fish runs, belugas, and various
weather events, it is an area where constant transition can be witnessed throughout the year. AWCC is
planning a unique visitor education experience to include a boardwalk out to the point area with
interpretive information, and a gazebo structure at the end to provide shelter to our guests and some
additional interpretive information. In conjunction with other educational institutions in Alaska, this will be an
excellent educational addition to the AWCC Campus.
