Underwater Salmon Run Cam
OnlineThis underwater camera is mounted on a floating bridge at the mouth of Brooks River in Katmai National Park, offering a rare, eye-level view beneath the surface. Watch sockeye salmon push upstream toward their spawning grounds, and keep an eye out for the powerful brown bears that gather along the riverbank to fish. The current carries a steady procession of fish past the lens, a window into one of Alaska's richest wild salmon runs.

A Window Beneath Brooks River
Anchored to a floating bridge at the mouth of Brooks River, this camera submerges its lens just below the surface to capture life-size views of the current as it flows toward Naknek Lake.
The Sockeye Salmon Run

Brown Bears on the Hunt
Brown bears from the surrounding forest patrol this stretch of river, wading into the shallows to snatch salmon as they pass. The underwater vantage offers a rare, fish-eye perspective on this dramatic predator-prey encounter.
Part of Katmai's Wild Heart
Brooks River is one of the most productive salmon corridors in Katmai National Park, a remote wilderness on the Alaska Peninsula managed by the National Park Service. The feed is part of a wider network of cameras documenting this extraordinary ecosystem.
