Accessible only by hiking into the Tongass National Forest, this dispersed camping area requires backpacking gear and advance planning. The US Forest Service manages this hike-in site near the Herbert Glacier Trailhead, where campers must carry all supplies on foot.
One reviewer reached the area by boat, mooring offshore before hiking inland to explore the forest terrain. The location provides access to both fishing and crabbing opportunities, with the road ending just past St. Terese north of Juneau. Campers should prepare for primitive conditions with no developed facilities or services. This site works best for experienced backpackers comfortable with dispersed camping regulations and places to camp near Tongass National Forest protocols.
