About this campground
Discover 2,850 acres of untamed Alaskan wilderness at Point Bridget State Park, where dramatic coastal cliffs meet pristine meadows and ancient forests. This expansive natural sanctuary offers adventurers eight miles of scenic trails winding through diverse ecosystems, from rocky beaches where waves crash against the shore to peaceful streams where salmon return each year to spawn. Three cozy public-use cabins provide the perfect basecamp for exploring this remarkable landscape, offering shelter amid the raw beauty of Southeast Alaska's coastline.
Point Bridget State Park offers a range of camping accommodations, mainly public-use cabins, along with tent sites and RV parking.
Historical SignificanceWhile the recorded history of Point Bridget State Park remains quietly preserved in the landscape itself, the area stands as a testament to the enduring relationship between the land and sea that has shaped Southeast Alaska for millennia. The park's name honors the maritime heritage of the region, serving as a coastal landmark for generations of travelers navigating these waters.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the dramatic seasonal contrasts of coastal Alaska, where winter transforms the landscape into a snow-laden wonderland with temperatures hovering between 22°F and 34°F. As spring melts into summer, the park awakens under frequent rainfall that nourishes the lush temperate rainforest, with mild temperatures ranging from 48°F to 57°F. This moisture creates the verdant, almost mystical atmosphere that defines Southeast Alaska, where mist often drifts through towering trees and across meadows bursting with wildflowers.
ElevationNestled at approximately 380 feet above sea level, Cedar Lake offers a tranquil mountain escape that feels worlds away from the coastal beaches below. This modest elevation provides the perfect vantage point for experiencing the park's diverse ecosystems, from sea-level rocky shores to the gently rising terrain that cradles this pristine alpine gem.
Natural Features and SceneryJourney through an ever-changing tapestry of natural wonders, from windswept coastal meadows to towering cliff faces that plunge dramatically toward the sea. Follow salmon-filled streams as they wind through ancient rainforest, where moss-draped trees create cathedral-like groves. Just 1.4 miles along the trail, expansive wetlands and wildflower fields open before you, while the mysterious beauty of rainforest muskeg surrounds peaceful Cedar Lake. Rocky beaches invite exploration at low tide, revealing tide pools teeming with marine life and offering front-row seats to Alaska's rugged coastal splendor.
Geological RegionCarved by glaciers and shaped by the relentless Pacific, Point Bridget State Park showcases the geological drama of Southeast Alaska's coastline. This dynamic landscape tells the story of ice, rock, and sea through its soaring cliffs, gentle meadows, and weathered beaches. The park's varied terrain rises from sea level to Cedar Lake's modest perch at 380 feet, encompassing salmon spawning streams, rainforest muskeg, and rocky shorelines that bear witness to the powerful forces that continue to sculpt this magnificent corner of Alaska.
