Parks & Recreation Department-Haines Ranger Station

Chilkoot Lake State Recreation Site, located at the south end of Chilkoot Lake near the Chilkoot River outlet, offers visitors a pristine environment surrounded by Sitka spruce. Known for its excellent salmon fishing and wildlife viewing, particularly bears that frequent the area during salmon runs from mid-June to mid-October, it provides a natural habitat for both recreational activities and conservation efforts. The site features a campground with first-come, first-served campsites, picnic shelters, and a boat launch, making it an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors can engage in activities such as boating, camping, and kayaking while appreciating the area's rich historical and cultural resources. Generated from the website
