Brooks River Visitor Access Improvements EIS
Katmai National Park & Preserve » Brooks River Visitor Access Improvements EIS » Document List
The EIS evaluates alternatives for a bridge and boardwalk that would span the lower Brooks River. The existing floating bridge would be removed. A new bridge would provide for the existing floatplane access to the Brooks Camp Area to continue, with planes beaching on the shore of Naknek Lake on the north side of Brooks River. A new barge landing and access road would be constructed to the south of its current location. This proposal would amend the 1996 Brooks River Area Development Concept Plan (DCP) and EIS, which called for construction of a new floatplane dock, breakwater, one-mile access road on the south side of Brooks River, and required a shuttle system.
