Overview

When visitors camp at Childs Glacier Recreation Area, they’re instantly captivated by spectacular views of Childs Glacier, which is famous for it’s calving icebergs that put on a great show. Other must-do activities in the area include hiking along the river and fishing for salmon. Childs Glacier is the only glacier reached by road where visitors can see calving occurring. When icebergs fall from the glacier, they are sometimes so large that they send a 10-foot wave rippling across the river to the opposite shore.

Recreation
