Big Port Walter

Big Port Walter, a small community nestled on the eastern coast of Baranof Island, offers a glimpse into Alaska's rich history and natural resources.  As part of Sitka City and Borough, this community's past is intertwined with the fishing and logging industries that have played a significant role in Alaska's development.

Venture to Little Port Walter, a nearby location that once bustled with activity during the turn of the century. Here, you'll find the remnants of a herring saltery, a reminder of the area's fishing heritage.  Modern science has taken root in Big Port Walter as well.  A research station dedicated to studying the life cycles of various salmon species continues the tradition of utilizing the area's natural resources for knowledge and understanding. 

While shopping options may be limited due to the remote location, the chance to experience a historic Alaskan community surrounded by stunning natural beauty makes Big Port Walter a worthwhile destination.
