The world-famous Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve boasts the largest gathering of bald eagles anywhere in the world. Your adventure begins with a spectacular drive along the National Scenic Byway through the awe-inspiring Chilkat Valley to the heart of the preserve. After a riverside picnic you will board 18-foot inflatable rafts and enjoy a peaceful float (no whitewater) down this ever-changing river.
Watch for eagles, bears, moose, and even wolves, all drawn here to the preserve by the spawning salmon. The eagle preserve boasts the largest congregation of Bald Eagles in the world. Eagles, bears and wolves all frequent the preserve to feed on the plentiful salmon making their way upstream to their spawning beds. Floating quietly down the river is the best way to observe the grandeur of the preserve. 7,000 foot tall peaks tower above you as you float past the ancient native village of Klukwan. Located at the confluence of three rivers, this historic village has seen a multitude of generations. For hundreds of years the Tlingits have lived off the bounty of this special place. And still today you will see them fishing and smoking their catch at the river’s edge.
