There are no National Park Service developments, services, campgrounds or trails in Kobuk Valley National Park. Tundra and river bars are often used for primitive camping. Do not camp in archaeological areas or on private property.
Use river bars with caution. Rapid changes in the river level can occur without warning. Camp only where escape routes are available to safe higher ground. Keep gear above river level and secure boats and other float able items.
Subsistence
You may encounter subsistence activities in the park. Camps, fishnets, traps and equipment are private property. Both small and large tracts of privately owned lands are located in and next to park lands. These are not open to public travel or use without permission of the owner. Please observe common courtesies and respect privacy and property.
"Subsistence is a way that Native Peoples of Alaska have preserved their cultures. This way of life is not confined to the land. It stretches out to the sky and the waters and rivers. The creatures of the earth give themselves to the People, who in turn share with family and friends, shaping relationships that celebrate life." Helga Eakon - Inupiaq Eskimo, and Subsistence Regional Advisory Council Coordinator.
Many Alaskans live off the land, relying on fish, wildlife and other wild resources. Alaska Natives have used these resources for food, shelter, clothing, transportation, handicrafts and trade for thousands of years. Other residents living in rural Alaska depend on local harvests as reliable and economic food sources.
