Dumpling Mountain Hike

Visitors are treated to breathtaking views of Naknek Lake and Brooks Camp on the Dumpling Mountain Trail.
Lead by a ranger/naturalist, this moderately strenuous hike climbs 800 ft. over 1.5 miles (one way), emerging from the boreal forest and into alpine tundra and an overlook of Brooks Camp with expansive views of Naknek Lake. For the more adventurous hiker, the trail continues (unaccompanied by a ranger) 2.5 miles and gains an additional 1,600 ft. to the summit of Dumpling Mountain.

Raingear, water, and sturdy hiking boots or shoes are recommended.

Birds begin returning from wintering grounds in March. Waterfowl by the thousands, like tundra swans, gather on any open water patches as they wait for the region's wetlands to thaw.
