Ursus Cove

Ursus Cove opens into Kamishak Bay on the western side of Cook Inlet, beneath the mountains of the Alaska Peninsula. Waves and currents move sediment along the shore, sometimes building ridges that hold fresh water behind them. In spring and summer streams can break through these barriers again. Salmon return to the rivers of Kamishak Bay, where brown bears gather to feed when the fish make their way upstream.
