Kayaking in Western Prince William Sound

Prince William Sound provides excellent opportunities for backcountry adventure, solitude and wildlife observation. The Sound has more tidewater glaciers than any other region in North America and is encompassed by the 5.4-million-acre Chugach National Forest. 1.9 million acres of the western Sound is designated as the Nellie Juan College Fiord Wilderness Study Area to preserve its unique wilderness character.

Immense ice fields surround this inland waterway and give rise to magnificent tidewater glaciers that tumble into the sea. Icebergs and postglacial terrain are hallmarks of the landscape, offering a unique glimpse of geology and post-glacial reforestation in action.
