Anan Creek is an ancient Tlingit native fishing site. The Anan estuary and Observatory is accessible by boat or plane. Anan Creek has the largest pink salmon run in Southeast Alaska, attracting significant numbers of black and brown bears to feast on the bounty.

This is MY rock!
The U.S. Forest Service has developed an Observatory, a covered deck area, that gives you an opportunity to watch the bears up close. The observation platform and photo blind overlook cascading falls where the salmon jump up river and the bears catch their meal.

Wildlife Observatory Bear Viewing Deck
There is a half mile trail leading to the observation deck. Forest Service staff at the trailhead provide safety information. Guides charted in town will transport you to the site and escort you to the observation area.
