Brooks Falls Lodge, Alaska - Natural World Safaris

about Brooks Falls Lodge, Katmai National Park

Brooks Falls Lodge puts you as close to the wildlife as possible located in the heart of Katmai National Park. Originally opened as a fishing camp, the premises have been in action since 1950 and have since then been continuously upgraded.

This area of the world is famous for its fishing and, of course, grizzly bears – up to 50 of which live along the Brooks River during salmon spawning season. There are little viewing decks set up down the river, it is also possible to watch the bears from a boat if you so wish.
