- Sport Fishing: You
may choose to saltwater sport fish for halibut, salmon, crab, and shrimp
or freshwater sport fish for trout. Alaska Department of Fish and Game
provides a great seasonal
chart for your fishing options
- Camping: Pick one of 11 US Forest Service cabins (direct saltwater access) in the area and spend time camping and hiking in our magnificent coastal rain forests.
- Local Lodging: Rent the Lucky Loon, a waterfront beach house just minutes from town.
- Cruising & Exploring: Plan a relaxing skiff cruise and explore the many pristine sloughs, creeks, and small rivers, along the hundreds of miles of nearby island coastlines.
- Hiking/Backpacking: Walk the beaches-have a picnic, take a wilderness hike to an inland lake, along a river, or climb your way to the top of Petersburg Mountain.
- Alaska Photo Ops: During the summer, the waters of Southeast Alaska become the feeding grounds to the awesome humpback and killer whales. You will find sea lions lounging on their rookeries or taking a time out on the local channel buoys. To the east of Petersburg, you may - from a safe distance, view the very active and spectacular Le Conte glacier. Travel to the north into the Thomas Bay area and view the receding Baird Glacier. It is exciting to come across the amazing indigenous wildlife: black and brown bear, Sitka black-tail deer, the occasional moose or wolf; and observe our bountiful bird life such as eagles, seabirds, and migratory birds that are common sights all over Southeast.
- Hunting: Bear hunters arrive in April-May for the spring hunting season; deer hunters arrive in August; waterfowl hunters in the fall; several local, successful hunting areas are accessible by skiff.
- Please note: for fishing and/or hunting you will need an Alaska State fishing/hunting license, available from Alaska Department of Fish & Game.
