Maund Park Adventures

Maund Park is located within the vast Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska, an area known for its old-growth temperate rainforests and abundant biodiversity. The park covers a substantial tract of forestland with rugged coastlines along Chatham Strait, providing excellent opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts seeking solitude and natural beauty. The dense Sitka spruce and western hemlock forests support diverse wildlife, including brown and black bears, eagles, salmon, and deer. Visitors to Maund Park can enjoy activities such as hiking through moss-draped forests, fishing in pristine streams, kayaking along scenic estuaries, and camping under towering conifer canopies. The park’s remote location limits visitor crowds, making it attractive for backcountry experiences. The landscape is shaped heavily by glacial and marine influences, offering dramatic shorelines and rich marine life. Maund Park was designated to protect this unique coastal temperate rainforest ecosystem and provide recreational opportunities that highlight the natural and cultural history of the region. Interpretive sites and trails tell the story of Tlingit heritage and traditional uses of the land. With its combination of coastal access and inland forest trails, Maund Park is a prime destination for wildlife viewing, especially birdwatching and bears foraging near salmon streams. The area’s rugged terrain and varied habitats make it a rewarding destination for those prepared for wilderness travel in the Alaskan outdoors.
