Natural Features and SceneryNestled along the pristine waters of Moira Sound within the vast Tongass National Forest, Kegan Cove reveals nature's artistry at every turn. Towering Sitka spruce and western hemlock create a emerald cathedral overhead, their ancient branches home to soaring bald eagles and chattering shorebirds. As tides retreat, they unveil a dramatic 100-foot expanse of tidal flat, where fascinating rock formations emerge like sculptures from the sea. Keep watch for Sitka black-tailed deer stepping delicately through the forest shadows and respect the presence of black bears, the true monarchs of this wild realm.

Geological RegionKegan Cove rests within a sheltered saltwater embrace along Moira Sound, where gentle coastal terrain meets the endless expanse of the Tongass. This protected cove showcases nature's daily transformation as powerful tides advance and retreat, exposing a remarkable 100-foot tidal flat adorned with ancient rock formations. Above the high-tide line, majestic stands of Sitka spruce and western hemlock anchor the landscape, their roots reaching deep into the rich coastal soil that has nurtured this temperate rainforest ecosystem for millennia.
