Anan Wildlife Observatory provides an exceptional wildlife and Bear viewing opportunity. The Anan Creek has the largest pink salmon run in Southeast Alaska and attracts brown and black bears, bald eagles and other wildlife in July and August. 30 miles south of town, the observatory is only accessible by boat or plane. A 0.5 mile trail leads to a viewing platform.
