Fishing
Fishing can be good when rivers are clear and fish are running. Species include grayling, arctic char, sheepfish, salmon, pike and whitefish. An Alaska fishing license is required for all persons 16 years of age or older. Alaska fishing seasons and regulations apply.

Hunting
Sport hunting is permitted in Noatak National Preserve with an Alaska hunting license. Alaska seasons and regulations apply. Kobuk Valley National Park and Cape Krusenstern National Monument are closed to sport hunting. Subsistence hunting by local residents living in identified resident zones is permitted in all three areas. State and federal subsistence hunting regulations apply.

Camping
The three park areas have no designated campgrounds. Tundra and river bars are often used for camping. Use river bars with caution: Rapid changes in river levels 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 floatable items.
