Overview

About

Only the chillest cats seem to make it out to Chilkat Islands State Marine Park. Getting there by plane or kayak can be an adventure with the area's gusty winds, but once you arrive...pure paradise! Rocky beaches, insane mountain views, and plenty of fish in the sea. The bumpy ride there is worth it, and with Chilkat's nearby eagle preserve, you can—ahem, kill two birds with one stone (but for real, don’t harm the birds, they’re pretty ya know?). There are over 6,000 acres of pure Alaskan Wilderness to be had at Chilkat and with adventure like this, what’s a little wind on the way?

When to go

The ideal time to visit Chilkat Islands State Marine Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is most favorable. Winter can be harsh, with limited access and services, making it less suitable for visitors.

Know before you go

  • Check weather conditions before your trip, as Alaska's climate can be unpredictable.
  • Be prepared for wildlife encounters and know how to safely observe animals.
  • Ensure you have the necessary permits for fishing or other regulated activities.
  • Respect park closures and restricted areas to protect the environment and wildlife.
  • While amenities may be limited, plan ahead to ensure you have all necessary supplies.
