The main attraction is the bear-viewing at Pack Creek. Pack Creek gives brown bears a protected habitat while also providing a place where visitors can watch the bears up close. In addition to brown bears, Sitka black-tailed deer, river otter, mink, marten, and other small mammals call Pack Creek home.
