Aniachak National Monument and Aniachak National Preserve by National Parks Service

East of the caldera many short, fast-running streams originate on the mountain slopes and drop rapidly towards the Pacific Ocean. Steams entering the ocean at the heads of bays offer considerably more diversity and interest in that they pass through valleys of less precipitous nature and thus have the opportunity to be associated with a richer biome. These streams, and the bays with which they are associated are: 1) North Fork, Kujulik Bay; 2) Black Creek, Aniakchak Bay; 3) Main Creek, Amber Bay; 4) Northeast Creek, Amber Bay; and 5) West Creek, Amber Bay.
