The Stikine River offers beautiful clear water tributaries along its glacial fed expanse. Experience the thrill of jet boating or enjoy a slow float trip by raft while being surrounded by unsurpassed Alaskan wilderness at its best.

Visit Anan Bear and Wildlife Observatory just south of Wrangell Island on the mainland. Anan Creek is accessible by boat or float plane. In July and August, black and brown bears feast on Southeast Alaskas largest run of pink salmon. The Creek is thick with fish and bears catch the salmon jumping the cascading falls.
Garnets should be every visitor's souvenir of Wrangell. The Garnet Ledge is located at the mouth of the Stikine River and belongs to the children of Wrangell. Children and their families collect the garnets from the rock schist to share with visitors. The site is a historic mine from the late 1800s, and day permits are available for rock enthusiasts from the Wrangell Museum.
If you prefer to stay in town a local sampler of the best island attractions is available to explore by yourself or on tour. Walking tours of historic and cultural sites, or in the Tongass Rainforest are available by knowledgeable local guides.
If you are a golfer, you will love Muskeg Meadows Golf Course and driving range. Carved from the rainforest, surrounded by the water and mountains, the 9-hole USGA rated course will provide a relaxing diversion.
