In summer, the town's vast wilderness is alive with activity as Alaskan brown grizzlies and black bears peruse local rivers and streams for salmon.
Catch a glimpse of these intimidating creatures while bear watching from a safe distance at Fish Creek. Also in summer, intermediate-to-advanced hikers can challenge Stewart's diverse hiking terrain, while anglers can try for a good day's catch while fishing on the Portland Canal. Winter brings heavy snowfall to Stewart, and with the snow comes opportunities for snowmobiling and heli-skiing.
