What to expect

Experience the wonders found in one of the Chugach State Park's fondest, glaciated valleys! On this tour, you will walk along the glorious Eagle River trail system where boreal forests, and salmon spawning streams are found.

Begin your tour from the network of forested trails found at the Eagle River Nature Center, nestled deep along the north fork of the Chugach State Park's massive Eagle River. Go through thick spruces and birches while keeping an eye out for wildlife. You may see the American Dipper swimming in a tributary warmed by geothermal heat, or moose and small mammals like the snowshoe hare or red fox.

Then, take a short ride to the Chugach State Park's best waterfall, Barbara Falls. After a short half-mile walk that features incredible plants, fungus, and point-and-shoot photo opportunities around every corner, you will admire the beautiful view from the falls.
