Chilkat State Park

Chilkat State Park occupies 9,837 acres on the Chilkat Peninsula south of Haines, between the Chilkat and Chilkoot inlets, and is valued for its quiet campsites, shoreline access, mountain scenery, and glacier views. Developed during Alaska’s state park expansion in the 1970s, it began with Battery Point State Recreation Area before the full park was established in 1975 and unified under its present name in 1976. Trails lead through forest, along the coast, and up Mount Riley, while nearby waters support major salmon runs and draw boaters and kayakers. Bears, moose, whales, sea lions, and especially bald eagles make the area notable for wildlife viewing.
