Overview

The headwaters of Alagnak Wild River lie within the rugged Aleutian Range of neighboring Katmai National Park and Preserve. Meandering west towards Bristol Bay and the Bering Sea, the Alagnak traverses the beautiful Alaska Peninsula, providing an unparalleled opportunity to experience the unique wilderness, wildlife, and cultural heritage of southwest Alaska.

Located between the stormy north Pacific Ocean and the even stormier Bering Sea, the Alagnak Wild River is often a battleground between weather systems. When you visit, be prepared to encounter all types of weather.  On average, wet and cool conditions predominate in spring, summer, and fall. Winters are drier and colder.
