Bear zone warning sign along Chilkoot River

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

The Chilkoot River outlet of Chilkoot Lake offers some of the best salmon fishing in Southeast Alaska. Because of the salmon spawning in the Chilkoot River bears frequent the river to feast on the salmon. Care must be taken by visitors to the area to protect themselves and the bears. Bear and human conflicts have been increasing in recent years to the point that a special human free zone was established to give bears access to the river. In addition a bear viewing platform is under development to provide a safer location for visitors to view bears feeding in the river. The area is part of the Chilkoot Lake State Recreational Site located near Haines, Alaska at the head of the Lutak Inlet in the Lynn Canal.
