The 80 acre Chilkoot Lake State Recreation Site is at the south end of Chilkoot Lake, near the outlet to the Chilkoot River. The campground sits amid a beautiful stand of Sitka spruce. Every summer, fish, bears, eagles, and people gather here creating a one-of-a-kind opportunity for fishing, wildlife viewing, and photography. For a safe and responsible experience, please be corridor courteous. For centuries, the Tlingit people have used this site for many of the same reasons people continue to visit today. We can all do our part to preserve this place and its resources.
The park and surrounding area offers some of the best salmon fishing in Southeast Alaska, with four salmon runs, starting in mid-June and ending in mid-October. Because of the salmon spawning in the river and at this end of the lake, this area is also a bear highway. Bears frequent the river to feast on the salmon. Please learn proper bear/human etiquette, this protects both you and the bears
