The Spring Creek Lodge is a historic former restaurant at 18389 Old Glenn Highway in the Chugiak area of Anchorage, Alaska. It is located about midway between downtown Anchorage and Palmer on an old alignment of the Glenn Highway. The lodge is a single-story log structure, built in a T-shaped plan between 1948 and 1950. It is built of peeled logs milled flat on two surfaces and butt-joined at the corners. The gable ends of the roof are framed and finished in split log siding. The main block is 20 by 36 feet (6.1 m × 11.0 m), with a kitchen ell extending to the rear. Although it has been converted to a private residence, the building has been little altered since 1950. The restaurant was a local landmark until its location was bypassed by the present alignment of the Glenn Highway in 1969, after which it closed.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]
