Visitor Impact
View Eagles from the area between Haines Hwy. And the river. Staying within this area prevents stressful conditions for the eagles. They need their space to roost and feed. Stay off the flats, for the same reason. Stop and park only in designated turnouts.

Do not disturb the fish in any way. Fish are the eagles' food. Please leave all fish and fish carcasses where nature has placed them.
