Facilities

The Bering Land Bridge National Preserve has several limited facilities in the Preserve. There are facilities available in Nome and Kotzebue, and also in neighboring villages.

Facilities in the Preserve

Facilities in this wildlands preserve are extremely limited and there are few trails.

Six widely scattered shelter cabins widely scattered in the preserve are primarily for emergency winter use.

Cottonwood
Ear Mountain
Goodhope
Grayling Creek
Kividlo
Nuluk

A bunkhouse-style cabin at Serpentine Hot Springs sleeps 15 to 20 people in two sections. A wooden tub for bathing is enclosed in a small bathhouse which is fed by the waters of the hot spring.

All cabins are unreserved and bush etiquette may require sharing space with strangers. Camping is relatively unrestricted, with no formal campsites and no developed water, power, or sanitation facilities.

Facilities in Nome and Kotzebue

Preserve headquarters in Nome offers information and limited displays on park themes.

Nome and Kotzebue provide services expected in small towns - hospital, restaurants, hotels, grocery and hardware stores. Camping gear and sporting goods are often limited for variety, quantity, or availability.

Air taxi services provide scheduled flights to neighboring villages or charter flights into the Preserve.

Facilities in neighboring villages

In nearby villages small stores offer limited clothing, food, or supplies.

As the tourist season develops, some villages also offer meals, lodging, and village tours.
