Best Time to Camp at Taku Harbor State Marine Park

Embrace the raw, elemental beauty of Alaska's dynamic weather patterns at Taku Harbor.

The persistent precipitation feeds the lush wilderness and creates that quintessential misty atmosphere that makes Southeast Alaska so mysteriously beautiful. Come prepared for the elements, and you'll discover how the weather adds to rather than detracts from the adventure.
