About

Decision Point State Marine Park encompasses 460 acres at the eastern end of Passage Canal in Alaska. The park is named for the critical decision point mariners face when deciding whether to enter Port Wells. Its unique location provides impressive views of the surrounding waters and mountains, making it a significant area for those interested in Alaska's coastal scenery. Visitors often participate in activities such as kayaking, boating, and wildlife observation. Access to the park is only by boat, as there are no roads leading to it. Given its remote nature, it is important to be prepared for changing weather conditions and to plan for water access. Before your visit, please confirm hours, fees, and any potential closures with the official state site.
