Nearby, too, you can visit the Delta Bison Range to see real, live American bison on the range.TokTok is the trade center for several of the region’s Athabascan Indian villages. situated a little way to the southeast of Delta Junction on the Alaska Highway, between the Alaska Range and the Tanana River, and quite close to the Canadian Yukon Territory. In Tok, you can search out the Tok Public Lands Information center, which not only has visitor information, but also museum displays and screenings of wildlife films.Nearby, to the northeast of Tok lies Eagle, an old, gold rush-era transportation center, where the park headquarters for the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve are now located. Also, from Eagle you can take a multi-day river trip down the Yukon to Circle, an adventure in itself.
