Английская Википедия:Fourth of July Creek (Kenai Peninsula, Alaska)
The Fourth of July Creek is a creek on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. It rises on the upper Resurrection Peninsula from various glaciers on Santa Ana Peak in the Chugach Mountains and flows Шаблон:Convert to empty into Resurrection Bay near Seward.[1][2] Fourth of July Creek formed some time after 1850, when Godwin Glacier retreated from the shores of Resurrection Bay, uncovering the stream and the broad valley it flows through.[3] The creek was formerly known as the Godwin River, before the aforementioned glacier split into two valleys creating a separate tributary of the waterway, today known as Godwin Creek.[4]
Fishing and recreation
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.[5] This delta is at a rocky and sandy coastal area known as Fourth of July Beach, and is publicly accessible by going around the adjacent shipyard's private property.
