Island Activities:
BEACH COMBING You never know what is around the corner. Feel like a kid again, or take your kids to create new memories on the many Alaska beaches. Whether you choose to beach your boat on one of the many island beaches or travel just north of Thorne Bay to Sandy Beach at low tide, you won’t be disappointed with the tidepool life nor the treasures one might find hidden from all until your eyes spot it. There also, guided beach tours available to some of the outlying islands.
Please always be mindful of wildlife and exercise caution when going into more remote areas.
Sandy Beach
KAYAKING/CANOEING There is no lack of water access for the adventurous. Prince of Wales Island hosts various vendors for kayak/canoe rentals as well as some guided trips are available. We can recommend the ideal access points.
FISHING
FRESHWATER FISHING/RIVER SALMON RUN There are all types of rivers and streams to try your luck. One of the best salmon spots during the spawn (late August through September) is just 1.5 miles from the cabin. Island Processing, located in Klawock, will be glad to process, vacuum seal, flash freeze, and box your catch for the trip home. There is a freezer available with the cabin to store that catch until time to leave.
SALTWATER FISHING The waters surrounding the west side of the island is home to a variety of sought after trophies! Whether your goal is to land that prize King Salmon, halibut, or a variety of other species which inhabit Prince of Wale’s waters, you won’t be disappointed!
The angler will find a large variety of vendors for day charters. Be sure to check price and compare services which are included in the fee, because they can vary. We encourage you to make your reservations early! For the experienced boat operator, there are opportunities to rent a boat or skiff. It is suggested that if you plan on renting a boat, that one might check out an on-line Alaska Safe Boating Course.
We recommend that as soon as your dates are confirmed for travel, you should also make your other reservations, i.e., car, day charter, ATV, boat/skiff, kayak/canoe, as availability goes quickly.
