About Juneau Channel Island State Marine Park
Juneau Channel Island State Marine Park is a group of 14 islands in the waters off Juneau, Alaska's capital. The islands sit in the quiet, wild coastline that makes the town feel so remote, reachable only by air or by sea.
A visit is mostly on the water. Paddlers go out among the islands for wildlife viewing, photography and sport fishing. Ships dock just south of downtown Juneau, so getting out to the islands starts with a short walk to the waterfront and a boat from there.

Getting there, cost and time
The park is reached by boat from Juneau, since the town has no road or rail link.
Paid for in kind: the boat, the kayak or paddleboard rental, or a guided trip, depending on how you go out.
Most of a day, given the boat trip out and back.
Good to know
- Juneau has no road or rail link, so the trip out is by boat. Plan the return against your ship's all-aboard time.
- Ships dock just south of downtown, and the furthest dock is about a 1 mile walk from the visitor center area or needs a shuttle.
- Guided and unguided trips are both used here, so check how the boat and gear are arranged before you go.
