Bristol Bay’s reliably abundant salmon run provides vital, nutrient-rich food for the region’s sizable brown bear population. More than 2,200 bears within Katmai National Park, along with many more throughout the greater Bristol Bay area, make this a premiere viewing destination for visitors from around the world.
From the legendary bear viewing at Brooks Falls, to backcountry wildlife viewing experiences in the remote Katmai wilderness, to happenstance sightings around our favorite fishing grounds, our lodges provide unparalleled bear viewing opportunities for all.
