The Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve is a state park and wildlife refuge near Haines in southeast Alaska, established in 1982 to protect 49,320 acres centered mainly on the Chilkat River, with additional sections along the Klehini and Tsirku rivers. It is renowned for holding the world’s largest concentration of bald eagles. Between 200 and 400 eagles live there year-round, and during the annual Fall Congregation their numbers can climb to as many as 4,000. A popular viewing area lies along the Haines Highway between mile 12 and mile 18, where the river corridor and surrounding landscape attract eagle watchers.
