ShoreTrips says...
Haines is a true naturalist's paradise and this guide is extraordinary!
Upon arriving in Haines, you will meet your knowledgeable local guide for the drive to Chilkoot Lake State Park. Here you will find Tlingit Indian cultural sites, a salmon-filled river flowing into the sea, and a turquoise lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Keep an eye out for wildlife, as bald eagles, brown bears, and migratory birds are often seen here!
Next, you will board a sea kayak and your expert guide will show you the basics of paddling. Sea kayaking is easy to learn and outfitted with the proper gear, you will soon be gliding silently along the shores of the lake. This pristine lake is uncrowded, and the scenery is spectacular. Huge waterfalls spill off of the cliffs surrounding the lake; lush green forests crowd the shoreline; and wildlife abounds. Your guide will reveal the secret workings of the rainforest as you pause at the base of a waterfall. Beginning in July, sockeye salmon spawn in one of the clear streams that feed into the lake. Eagles and bears are often attracted to this spot.
After paddling back to shore, you will enjoy a picnic lunch before driving back to Haines. Your day will be filled with memories and photographs from an unforgettable adventure.
