Yakutat Ranger District
The most northern of the ranger districts, the Yakutat Ranger District is located on mainland Alaska and is surrounded by tall mountains and massive glaciers. Its setting on the Gulf of Alaska provides the area with sandy beaches, waves suitable for surfing, and world-class fishing on the Situk River. The Yakutat Forelands is an important area for migratory birds, and it hosts one of the largest known breeding colonies of Aleutian Terns.
