Introducing King Salmon

The residents of King Salmon are mostly government employees, living in a vast, wide, open landscape on the beautiful Nak- nek River. The town is a little rough around the edges and, along with the relative lack of people, this gives King Salmon a quiet, edge-of-the-world appeal.

Just under 300 air miles from Anchorage, King Salmon is the air-transport hub for Katmai National Park & Preserve and most visitors see little more than the airport terminal and the float dock where they catch a flight into the park.
