Brooks Falls (Self guided)
Venture to Brooks Falls, also known as Brooks Camp, to see the iconic moment of salmon fighting their way upstream, leaping up water falls only to be caught in the jaws of Coastal Brown Bears. Bear numbers typically peak in mid-July.
Once you arrive from a scenic flight in our float plane, you will be given a safety briefing by Park Rangers at the Visitor’s Center.
After that, you can enjoy the park at your own pace. The falls where the bears congregate most densely for fishing are an easy 1 mile walk away from the Visitors Center. In addition to watching the bears fish at the falls, you can attend one of the ranger-led programs, walk along the beach, and even enjoy a hot meal or cup of coffee at Brooks Lodge.
