Silver Salmon Creek Details
Looking for bears? You'll find them, spring through fall, in the Silver Salmon Creek area of Lake Clark National Park & Preserve. World-class brown bear viewing can be found here while the bears are grazing in the sage meadows and catching salmon in late-summer. They even dig for clams on the beach! In addition to bear-watching, fishing and bird watching are popular in Silver Salmon Creek. Camping spots can be found from Silver Salmon Creek all the way to Chinitna Bay, 25 miles away. A ranger station is found here, too, on the south side of the creek and just off the trail from the south beach.
