River starts roughly at the end of the King Salmon season and continues
until the end of August. Huge runs of these Copper River Sockeye pass by
our park and hold up in several holes along our 750 ft. of shoreline. You
can catch them directly from our banks or enjoy a float trip with our
experienced and knowledgeable guides.
Fishing for all other
species is allowed through the summer.

Come stay with
us and avoid the crowds while you fish for some of the world’s
largest king salmon, as well as sockeye, trout, steelhead and
grayling. During the 2007 season people from all over the
lower 48 and many Alaska residents, as well as a number of foreign
visitors managed to capture many King Salmon in the 40 to 45 pound
range. This was accomplished from the banks of the
Gulkana River in our park and on our newly established guided
fishing trips. The guided trips leave directly from the boat
launch area in our park and our guests enjoy the comfort of a large,
new powered inflatable boat. At the end of the trip, the
guide returns to the launching ramp in our park.
*Use of our jet powered boat is subject to river conditions such as high
water and swift current.
