Lake Clark Guided Boat (Aug/Sept)

Lake Clark National Park Bear Viewing

Bear Viewing Available Through Late Summer Into Fall

Late Summer & Fall Bear Tours at Lake Clark

If you are vacationing to Alaska later in the summer or into the fall, no worries – we offer a great trip to see bears this time of year!

These bear tours get better and better late into September as the foliage begins to change, making for spectacular photos.

The #1 Lake Clark Bear Viewing Lodge

We partner with Redoubt Mountain Lodge which is located on beautiful Crescent Lake in Lake Clark National Park.

The lodge provides guides and pontoon boats. You will spend 3 hours cruising around the lake watching bears.
