The Cross Admiralty Canoe Route, a 32-mile water trail between Angoon and Seymour Canal, links seven mountain lakes, trails and portages that allow for kayak and canoe travel across the island. It’s an amazing adventure for experienced independent travelers, especially with Forest Service cabins providing shelter along the way.
Danger Point Trail leads from Angoon through a densely-treed area north of town, toward Danger Point, a perfect spot for summer whale watching. The game trail can be rough, but at just 2.5 miles round-trip, it’s a fairly easy hike through old-growth forest that ends with a spectacular view of Chatham Strait and nearby islands.
Angoon’s Cemetery Trail is aptly named. It’s a well-traveled local trail through the cemetery that links up with Danger Point Trail for a short tour of the wooded isthmus just north of the village of Angoon.

Sitka black-tailed deer in the forest, brown bear fishing local streams, hummingbirds flitting about town, and whales pods.
Angoon means “isthmus town” and offers miles of beaches to explore: from sandy stretches in front of town, to clay/mud expanses and pebble and shale beaches. Go beachcombing to see what the tide brings in (most desired: Japanese glass buoys), or just to lose yourself in the sights and sounds of the natural world.
Clan houses line Beaver Trail Road in Angoon, an area that hasn’t changed much in the last 100 years. The weather-beaten, wood-framed buildings are outward signs of a culture that has been maintained through generations.

In 1882, the U.S. Navy bombarded the small village of Angoon, resulting in destruction of homes, winter food stores and all but one canoe. The community survived through much hardship. The event is still very much a part of the collective history passed down through generations of Angoon residents.
