Tips

The two-tiered Brooks Falls viewing platform is the most popular place to be in Katmai National Park, because it offers great overlooks of the biggest and most dominant bears fishing around the waterfall. It can get crowded in July, so you should expect to wait a while before being allowed onto the platform. Your time on the platform may also be limited, usually to about an hour. There are restrictions on tripod use as well.

If you can't visit Brooks Falls right now, you can always watch the bears fishing on the NPS Brooks Falls webcam: explore.org/livecams/brown-bears/brown-bear-salmon-cam-brooks-falls
