HIKING, CAMPING & SIGHTSEEING - OH MY!
Wrangell offers many scenic spots for picnicking and camping, from easily reachable City Park and Shoemaker Bay to the more remote Nemo Point and Salamander Creek campsites.
A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WRANGELL’S HISTORY
Thousands of years before fur, gold, salmon and timber brought settlers, adventurers and pioneers to work and live in Wrangell, the Tlingit people arrived in the region via the Stikine River, migrating from the Interior.
DISCOVER WHAT LIES OUTSIDE THE LINES
Wrangell, one of the most historic communities in Alaska, is the only town in the state to have been ruled by four nations: Tlingit, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
It has the reputation for being the “friendliest little town in Southeast Alaska.” It’s also one of the hardest-working towns in the state.
