Glacier View Public Use Cabin — Chilkat State Park

Chilkat State Park is a 9,837 acre playground with trails, campgrounds, and an information center. The contact/information centers offers incredible views of Chilkat Inlet, Rainbow, and Davidson glaciers. The center also has wildlife spotting scopes so you can spot the inlet wildlife, such as seals, porpoises, and whales. Visitors have even been able to spy on bears and mountain goats on the other side of the inlet.

Fire - Campers are asked to use camp stoves and build fires in the fire pits or grills provided. Hikers - Travel with at least one companion. Leave word with someone where you are going and when to expect you back. Wind, wetness, and exhaustion add up to hypothermia. Be prepared to combat exposure by carrying rain gear, extra food and clothes, even when you don't expect to need them. Bears - Bear frequent park areas and are attracted by food odors. Clean fish in the river and keep food in your vehicle - never in the tent. A clean campsite is a good precaution. When hiking make noise to alert bears of your presence. Fishing - With the onset of fishing season, fishermen should inform themselves of Alaska State fishing regulations. Sport Fishing is not allowed within 300 feet of a fish weir. Snagging - hooking a fish other than in the mouth, is not allowed in fresh water. See the Dept. of Fish and Game web site for more information on fishing regulations.
