Overview

About

Calling all anglers, river wayfarers, and re-wilding adventurers. Salcha River State Recreation Site is your golden ticket. The Salcha River is filled with king salmon, arctic grayling, and northern pike. Since this park offers use of a boat launch (for a reasonable price), you’ll be chasing down those aquatic beauts in no time. Looking to relax? Just cozy on up in the park’s public use cabin. Now all you need is a natural whiskey spring and the trip would be complete!

When to go

The best time to visit Salcha River State Recreation Site is during the summer months, from June to August, when the Alaskan wilderness is in full bloom and the days are long and bright. Winter months can be harsh, with heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures, making some areas inaccessible.

Know before you go

  • Check weather conditions before your trip, as Alaska's weather can be unpredictable.
  • Be bear aware; carry bear spray and know how to store food safely.
  • Some areas may be closed due to seasonal changes or wildlife activity; always verify accessibility.
  • Bring insect repellent to combat the summer mosquitos.
  • Remember to leave no trace and respect the pristine environment of the park.
