Absolutely stunning views for an out of towner like me. Great place to practice photography and go for a decent walk. It would be fun to come at different times to see the changes in the water and seasons. Not too many bald eagles here on this day. Not crowded at all and it was very easy to take the bus here it's at the end of the bus line. I'm grateful for my stay thank you Juneau.

Lovely wave-free, swimming pool-like northern beach. Excellent place for paddle boarding (especially interesting around Mayflower Island), picnicking, hiking, and bonfires. Family-friendly, basic but clean restrooms, playground, shelters, free parking, mussels and bald eagles galore. Dog-friendly. Very popular with the locals. Sandy Beach (A.K.A. Boot Leg Beach 😉.) is best enjoyed at low tide.

Tour of the location of the gold mining town of Treadwell, AK, ca. 1880-1922. Travis, guide and owner of "Treadwell Alaska's Lost Mine Tour", grew up here and told us of the history, success, and ultimate failure of the mining operations, which ended the largest town in the area at the time. Assisted by IPads with gallery photos and virtual replacements of buildings on site made for an interesting and informative tour. Nice, level walk thru lovely, now forested park.

Such a great beach. Fun, clean, and historic. Lots of old broken dishes on the shore. I'm guessing from the mining community that used to be around. Nice sandy beach and water

Such a beautiful, haunting place with a lot of history. Definitely set aside plenty of time to explore and appreciate the beauty of the area. There is also a playground and restrooms.

Great and historic hiking trail with breath taking views. Watching the sun come out from behind the mountain at sunrise is an almost religious experience.
