Decision Point State Marine Park

Decision Point State Marine Park is a four hundred sixty-acre Alaska state marine park at the eastern end of Passage Canal in the Valdez–Cordova Census Area. Named for the point where travelers choose whether to continue into Port Wells, it is a place defined by water access rather than roads, with no road connection and most visitors arriving by boat or kayak. Fishing, camping, and shoreline recreation are popular, including two camping beaches and a public-use cabin at Squirrel Cove built from beetle-killed spruce logs that sleeps up to eight. Its waters and shores support abundant wildlife, from sea otters, seals, porpoises, and whales to moose, black bears, mountain goats, coyotes, wolves, eagles, gyrfalcons, and puffins.
