About

Ellamar State Recreation Site is situated in Alaska along the shores of Prince William Sound. It takes its name from the nearby community of Ellamar, a location with a history tied to mining and fishing. The site features impressive views of the surrounding mountains and provides access to the rich marine environment. Visitors can partake in fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Amenities at the site are limited, so it's advisable to plan for parking and the potential for remoteness. Weather conditions can shift quickly in this area, making appropriate gear necessary. Access may require navigating rugged terrain, and boat access is available for exploring the waters of Prince William Sound. Before visiting, confirm hours, fees, and any potential closures with the managing state agency.
