Juneau Area Islands State Marine Park

Juneau Area Islands State Marine Park is located in the coastal waters of Southeast Alaska, encompassing a collection of islands that provide a unique blend of natural beauty and wildlife habitat. The park's name reflects its proximity to Juneau, the state capital, and highlights its significance as a marine environment. The area is distinctive for its rugged coastline, diverse marine ecosystems, and opportunities for observing wildlife such as seals, sea lions, and a variety of seabirds. Visitors to the park often engage in activities such as kayaking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Access to the islands is primarily by boat, and the remote nature of the area means that visitors should be prepared for changing weather conditions. While there are no designated parking areas on the islands themselves, boat launches can be found in nearby Juneau. It is important to check with the managing state agency for the latest information on hours, fees, and any potential closures before planning your visit.
