Bettles Bay State Marine Park

Bettles Bay State Marine Park encompasses 679 acres of undeveloped marine environment in Alaska. The park derives its name from Bettles Glacier, which provides impressive views for visitors. Notable features include the surrounding islands and the historical remnants of a stamp press and gold mine located just southeast of the park, which highlight the area's mining history. Activities in Bettles Bay State Marine Park include boating, kayaking, and wildlife viewing, all of which allow visitors to explore the park's pristine waters and diverse ecosystems. Access to the park is limited to boat travel from the lagoon northeast of the islands, as there are no road connections. Given the unpredictable weather, visitors should prepare accordingly. Please confirm hours, fees, and any potential closures with the official state agency before your visit.
