Category: Explore and Participate

Explore bears and bison in parks, download eBooks and activity worksheets learning the varying characteristics by profiling bears in different parks. While bears of the same species might look similar, everything from their coloring, diet and sleeping patterns depend on the bear and its location. For example, a bear’s diet varies depending on what foods are available during a specific season in a specific region.

Bears of Brooks River eBooks

Every bear has a story. Since the late 1980s, biologists have closely monitored the habits and behaviors of bears that frequent Brooks River. These eBooks provide a unique opportunity to gain insight into their dynamic lives. Download the newest edition of the Bears of Brooks River eBook to help you identify the bears and read about their stories.

Parks with Bears

The purpose of Katmai National Park and Preserve is to protect, study, and interpret active volcanism surrounding the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, extensive coastal resources, habitats supporting a high concentration of salmon and brown bears, and an ongoing story of humans integrated with a dynamic subarctic ecosystem. The park and preserve offer unique opportunities to explore vast wilderness and immense volcanoes, watch brown bears, fish for salmon and trout, and many other activities.

America’s public lands offer endless opportunities for fun and adventure! Check out our list of a few of the best events on public lands throughout the year. From Salt Flat racing in Utah to manatee watching in Florida to casting a line in Georgia, there is something for everyone. This list includes incredible adventures (like bear watching in Alaska), but it is only a sampling of the opportunities available on public lands.

Bear watching at Katmai National Park and Preserve.
More than 2,200 brown bears call Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve home. Visitors to the park enjoy incredible viewing opportunities from late June to September. Regardless of where you go, stay safe in bear country and give bears the space they need. If you can’t make it to Alaska, you can watch these amazing animals feed on salmon on the famous BearCam.

When to Watch:
July is the best time to watch bears fishing at Brooks Falls. However, bears are in the area from mid-spring until mid-fall and a few bears may fish at Brooks Falls in September and October. Katmai’s brown bears are most active during daylight hours.

What to Look For:
From late June until late July, watch for sockeye (red) salmon jumping the falls and dominant male bears competing for fishing spots. Later in the summer and fall, a few bears may also fish at Brooks Falls. As many as 25 bears have been seen fishing at Brooks Falls at the same time.
