Bears and More! - Katmai National Park & Preserve (U.S. National Park Service) October 18, 2016. Moraine and Funnel Creeks were great places to explore, and it is important to remember the “best practices” and rules to follow in such an area. Like many of the amazing parts of Katmai National Park, it was easy to feel that the land would forever remain untouched, that an area so large could not be affected by our recreational presence. In fact though, I was surprised by how many people I saw at this remote location, and how many planes I heard. At a little over 100 individuals, the number of visitors on the busiest day I witnessed at Moraine Creek easily rivaled the number of daily visitors in Brooks Camp the same day. Admittedly though, visitation is usually low at Brooks Camp in the second week of August, the wind conditions on Crosswinds Lake kept many visitors away the rest of the week, and there are over four million acres in Katmai National Park.
