Wood-Tikchik State Park

Wood-Tikchik State Park spans 1.6 million acres of wilderness, featuring twelve major lakes, rivers extending 60 miles, and mountains reaching heights over 5,000 feet.

The park, established in 1978, protects two lake systems named Wood River and Tikchik, which drain into Bristol Bay through different river networks.

The lakes and rivers within the park serve as traditional territories for native Alaskan communities who practice subsistence fishing, hunting, and gathering.

Access to the park requires air transportation or boat travel, as no roads lead into the backcountry areas of this vast wilderness reserve.

The park contains interconnected clear-water lakes that support multiple species of salmon, rainbow trout, grayling, and northern pike in their natural habitat.
