Wildlife Viewing
Fish Creek Wildlife Observation Site
Enter the Fish Creek Observation Platform through the gate near the cabin. Staff will check your ticket there. Enjoy the 600 foot long platform with Fish Creek one side and Marx Creek on the other. You may see wildlife such as brown/grizzly and black bears, beaver, river otter, marten, weasel and many types of birds.
Each ticket gives access for the number of days purchased (1, 3, or 7 days) and the staff will note each day of use when they check your ticket. You may spend as much time as you like and come and go on the day your ticket is used. Tickets are valid any day during the season, not just the day noted on the ticket.
