"The park is home to approximately 400 brown bears and offers a raised boardwalk path protected by an electrified fence for safe viewing. It is recommended to take boat trips for bear watching to avoid dangerous encounters. The park also features five gorgeous lakes, coastal bear tours, and stunning landforms." - Kristen Pope
