6의 알류샨 산맥가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Here at the end of the Confluence Trail you can to Three Forks where the Lethe and Windy Creek merge to form the Ukak River, also known as Knife Creek. The water flows downstream from here to Ukak Falls.

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.

The campground has vault toilets, potable water, and an electric fence to deter bears. Capacity is limited to 60 people and fills up quickly during the summer.

Ukak Falls, a mighty cascade of ash-laden water, is one of the common destinations on ranger-led hikes from the Robert F. Griggs Visitor Center in Katmai National Park. Use caution if you wander near the canyon rim — its edge can be unstable.
