Pasagshak River State Recreation Area is located 40 miles west of Kodiak, at the head of picturesque Pasagshak Bay. This spot is a favorite for silver salmon fishing. King salmon and Dolly Varden are also found here.
The river is relatively short, and is unusual in that it reverses its flow four times daily with the ebb and flow of the tides. Upstream of the park, the river flows from Lake Rose Tead, named in appreciation of a popular WWWII USO performer. Bald eagles are commonly seen feeding here in summer and fall when the salmon are traveling upstream to spawn.
