Wildlife is just that “WILD,” so viewing is known to be anywhere in the Chilkat Valley, even downtown. Driving on the Lutak Road will give you access to the Chilkoot State Park, it is one of the most visited parks in Alaska from the easy access to bear viewing and fishing. Located on Mud Bay Road is the Chilkat State Park, which is highlighted for hiking, fishing, and glacier viewing. Driving out the Haines Highway, you enter the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, 48,000 acres of council grounds for Eagle (largest congregation is during the fall and early winter), and spotting wildlife. Numerous guided tours are offered and are a good way to optimize your wildlife viewing, they not only know where to go but are also able to reach more remote areas not typically accessed by the mainstream of people. Make sure to pack your binoculars for spotting critters near and far. In town, our American Bald Eagle Foundation presents live bird presentations along with an interpretive wildlife display for all ages to enjoy while Kroschel’s Wildlife Center, out the Haines Highway, is a great educational source right at our hands with over a dozen live animals all indigenous to this area but make sure you book a tour before heading out.

WILDLIFE THAT HAS MADE THEIR DEBUT IN OUR VALLEY: • Humpback Whales, Harbor Seals, Stellar Sea Lions, River Otters • Bald Eagles, Blue Herons, Surf Scoters Trumpeter Swans, Mergansers (grab the Birds of the Chilkat Valley checklist) • Porcupines, Red Foxes, Moose, Black and Brown Bears

TO MINIMIZE EFFECTS ON WILDLIFE AND THEIR HABITAT, HERE ARE SOME WILDLIFE AND BEAR VIEWING TIPS • Keep Your Distance – Never approach wildlife for any reason. Give bears plenty of space (100 feet) and remain calm. Stay together in a group. Your approach may cost an animal valuable energy, or cause undue stress.

• Time It Right – Bears are active on and off all day and night. Some bears come out at night to feed without the threat of humans. Respect the animals and use neither spotlight nor flash to take a photo.

• Keep Your Impact Low – Do not try to attract an animal’s attention as it could influence their natural response. Note that it is illegal to harass wildlife—let bears be bears.

• Keep Wildlife Wild – Never feed wild animals. Bears are intelligent and will associate humans with food, putting you and the bear in danger of being injured or killed. Feeding bears, and leaving trash or your picnic area unattended, is illegal.

• Be Considerate of Others – Everyone enjoys wilderness and wildlife in different ways. Be sure to respect private property, and give hunters, anglers, and others plenty of space.

Haines has adventures for every season, with activities and tours to fulfill the biggest adrenaline junky to those wanting to just sit, relax, and breathe it all in.

FALL & WINTER • Glacial waters run clear in the fall with fisherman gathering to the shores of the Chilkat and Chilkoot rivers to cast for Coho and Chum Salmon, why not enter the Silver Salmon Derby. • The largest congregation of Eagles starts flocking on to the Chilkat River for their continuous feeding time on the salmon. • Fall colors of red, orange, and yellow cover the valley, and the bears become more active for viewing and easier to see. • Activities abound from skiing, snowshoeing, and snow machining right out the back door. Or your adventure can take you further to the roadless snow-laden terrain and fresh powder areas only reachable by helicopter, plane, or snowcat with our local tour operators playing in those prime locations. • From February to May each year, skiers, snowboarders, and photographers from around the globe come to test their expertise in the big mountains. • Trout fishing on the frozen lakes produces a great meal. Share an already drilled hole with a local that may share the secret of catching one. • Fairweather Ski Works produces custom boards and skis from the local forest while our other outfitters will assist you with rentals and the right gear if needed. • Dining and shopping options are available along with evening entertainment being added during the season. • Trout fishing on the frozen lakes produces a great meal. Share an already drilled hole with a local that may share their secret of catching a keeper.

SPRING & SUMMER • Chilkat and Chilkoot state parks accommodate RV’s and tents alike or stay at a private campground closer to the townsite. • Golf the 9-hole Valley of the Eagles Golf Links, located right on the Chilkat River flats. • Late April or mid-May, we wait for the eulachon run (smelt like fish), which brings out traditional subsistence fishermen while bringing in marine wildlife, eagles, and seabirds. • Spring is the best time to capture the bursting colors from the local wildflowers and their fragrance. • Haines is for hikers, cyclists, beachcombers, wildlife enthusiasts, and even water lovers. • Plan your visit during one of our annual events, sure to make you a repeat visitor. • During this season, there are increased tours available around the valley from land, air, and boat tours covering the inlet, rivers and surrounding area. • All dining and shopping areas are open with a wide selection of local flavors to choose from. • Visit our historic working Cannery out on Mud Bay Road, slime line in action.
