What you'll see 💧 Waterfall🌊 River or creek🦌 Wildlife

A flat gravel and boardwalk route from Brooks Camp to three viewing platforms overlooking Brooks Falls, where brown bears stand in the current catching sockeye salmon in mid-air. This is the scene the live bearcams broadcast every July.

Tips
Everybody must attend bear school at the visitor centre before walking anywhere at Brooks Camp. The falls platform has a queuing system and a time limit in July. Reaching Brooks Camp means a floatplane from King Salmon - budget for weather delays.
