Chilkat State Park Wildlife Walk

Take a guided walk through Chilkat State Park, where the Chilkat Inlet meets glacier-fed rivers against a panorama of snow-covered peaks. The flat, well-maintained trails wind through coastal forest with views across the water to Rainbow and Davidson glaciers. Your guide points out wildlife including eagles, bears, seals, and salmon depending on the season. The walk covers about 2 miles at a gentle pace with frequent stops for viewing and photography. Transportation from the pier to the state park is included, with a scenic 15-minute drive. The trails are mostly flat with some gravel sections, manageable for most fitness levels. Dress in layers and bring rain protection. This shorter excursion pairs well with independent exploration of Haines town afterward. Great value for the price and consistently rated highly for wildlife sightings.
