Alagnak Wild River
Things To Know Before You Come
 

For a safe and successful Alagnak adventure, all visitors must at least be prepared for extreme weather and the likelihood of encounters with bears.

With the exception of lodging or guiding services, interaction with most commerical services ends once visitors' air taxi or boat drops them on the Alagnak.

Then, you're on your own!

Did You Know?
In June 1927 pilot Russell Merrill of Anchorage Air Transport flew a Travel Air to Lockanok cannery at the mouth of the Alagnak Wild River. This first airplane landing in the Bristol Bay region would effectively lead to a new era of air transport for this formerly inaccessible part of Alaska.
