Tips

The trail to Situk Lake can be very wet and muddy, although the section from the East Gate trailhead to the Situk Lake cabin usually has the most maintenance and improvements to help deal with those wet conditions. As you reach the lakeshore, on clear days you might be lucky enough to see the massive, triangular peak of 18,008-foot (5,489 m) Mount Saint Elias in the distance.

Heads up: When fish are running in the Situk River, you have much higher odds of encountering bears near the water.
