Tikchik River drains from Nishlik Lake (the northernmost lake in the State Park) and flows through the high plateau country of the Tikchik River basin. The river is only 40 miles ling and can easily be floated in 4 to 5 days. Longer duration trips will afford ample time for hiking and exploring. This river is extremely remote and provides for incredible scenery and wildlife viewing as you pleasantly float down the river.
Caribou, moose and brown bear are all plentiful, along with wolverine, wolf, and several fur-bearing animals. The higher open tundra hills lend themselves to wildlife viewing with the gentle up-sloping terrain exposing wildlife for viewing. this is an incredible trip for caribou viewing in the summer and brown bear in August.
The open hills and caribou trails provide numerous opportunities for day hikes and exploring the adjacent country. As you transcend the river, you will gradually travel into lower country and lush spruce and birch forest. The lower part of the river offers fantastic fishing for Dolly Varden, Arctic grayling and some rainbow trout.
