Katmai National Park
Katmai National Park – Accessible trails
“Katmai National Monument was established in 1918 to protect the volcanically devastated region surrounding Mount Katmai and the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes…. It is still an active volcanic area, but also preserves 9000 years of human history.” Katmai spans over four million acres of remote, wild, and spectacular country. There are “vast multi–lake watersheds with hundreds of miles of wild, untamed rivers and streams.” It is important habitat for salmon and thousands of brown bears.
All bear viewing platforms are accessible. “The trails to the Brooks Falls and Riffles platforms are accessible. However, the narrow paths at Brooks Camp are rough and can become very muddy. ” Also be aware you might have to move off a trail to make way for a passing bear.
