Discover Ziegler Cove State Marine Park's natural splendor.
Boater’s paradise! Ziegler Cove State Marine Park is along waters of Prince William Sound, at the Northern side of Pigot Bay. The park is covered with second-growth forest, offering shelter and privacy to campers. There is protected anchorage at the cove, so bring along your boat. The icy waters of Prince William Sound are protected from the rough seas by islands, and bordered by mountains and glaciers. Yep, it gets pretty chilly, but the natural barriers provide calm waters perfect for kayaking. Head to the tiny town of Whittier to pick up some supplies, or take a break from roughing it with a hot meal at a restaurant in Anchorage. Don’t leave the park before capturing images of the stunning, icy green landscape. Share your best shots with us!
The ideal time to visit Ziegler Cove State Marine Park is during the summer months, when Alaska's beauty is in full bloom and the days are longest. Conversely, winter can be harsh, with limited access and frigid temperatures, making it less suitable for park visits.
