Alagnak Wild River
Hunting & Firearms

Firearms
Firearms are permitted within the Alagnak Wild River corridor and in the adjacent Preserve portion of Katmai National Park and Preserve.

Hunting
Sport hunting, subsistence hunting, and trapping are authorized by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) within the Alagnak Wild River corridor. Hunting is allowed in accordance with Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) regulations for Game Management Unit 9C. Any wildlife killed in defense of life or property must be reported to ADF&G within 15 days. The meat of a game animal that you have legally taken becomes your property, but you may not kill another wild animal to protect the meat unless the meat is critical for your livelihood or survival.

Wave action from increased motorboat use on the Alagnak Wild River threatens archaeological sites.  

Did You Know?
While current and wave erosion is a natural process, increased erosion from motorboat wakes has become one of the greatest threats to archaeological sites along the banks of the Alagnak Wild River. Boaters can reduce the destructive process by slowing their crafts in areas where erosion is evident.
