Reviews
But the park itself was so lush, and peaceful to explore and photograph! From the old mine machinery to the beautiful waterfall, I wish we had had more time here. Flowers, tiny forest mushrooms, wild blueberry bushes, a musician singing old folk songs while softly playing guitar…. So restful!!
The experience is definitely geared toward the cruise crowd. It is a high-volume and very touristy kind of place. The chowder station offers tiny sample cups, and the buffet includes salad, slaw, scalloped potatoes, beans, BBQ meats, and a separate area for grilled (not baked) salmon. Lemonade, coffee, and a tasty self-serve blueberry cake are included. Soda and alcohol cost extra.
Live music adds a nice touch, though I felt bad seeing a sign asking guests to tip the performer, it made it feel a bit awkward. There’s also a small gift shop onsite if you’re in the mood for souvenirs.
Overall, it was a fun and convenient outing with friendly vibes and nice scenery, but the food was just okay, not memorable. If you’re looking for a truly local, high-quality meal, you might be better off elsewhere. Recommended for first-timers wanting the “Alaska salmon bake” box checked.
They had live music playing which made the whole experience even better and after eating I walked a short trail to check out the waterfall and even tried gold panning just for fun. The staff was super friendly and everything was really well organized. Even though it was a little rainy it didn’t matter at all since everything was covered and warm.
If you are visiting Juneau and want to enjoy good food in a beautiful outdoor setting this is definitely worth checking out.
I was so excited about the blueberry cake and it ended up being grossly sweet from the thick layer of powdered sugar on top. The cake it self was dry.
The only redeeming part is the beautiful scenery. It’s right by a creek and it does get cold as the sun goes down.
The employees besides the old chowder lady were nice.
Our party of four adults had a delightful experience at the Gold Creek Salmon Bake. Even though two of us don’t eat fish, the ribs, sides, cake, and overall atmosphere ensured everyone had a wonderful time. The standout dish of the meal was undoubtedly the glazed salmon. While the sides were satisfactory, none were particularly memorable. The blueberry cake was light and moist, but it could be enhanced with a few more berries or a berry sauce for those who prefer an extra touch. I advise bringing wet wipes for the kids.
Shop
The small shop on-site featured a variety of gift options, from plush toys to jewelry and much more.
Atmosphere and Location
The salmon bake took place entirely outdoors, and we arrived via bus. It was a self-serve experience in a covered, open-air setting, accompanied by a guitar soloist. We appreciated the organization provided by the various stations, but families with young children may find it a bit challenging, as someone would need to look after the kids while others explored each station multiple times. The open bar offered canned soft drinks at an additional cost. Our group sampled everything and especially enjoyed the glazed salmon and blueberry cake. S’mores kits were available for free but had to be requested. This event is flexible, allowing you to come and go as you please before continuing your day. Be sure to check out the stunning waterfall located at the back of the property!
