Trap Point

Nestled on the southwestern coast of Kodiak Island, Trap Point offers easy access to the island's natural treasures. While the nearest town is Akhiok, a short drive from Trap Point takes you to Fort Abercrombie State Historical Park. This park preserves remnants of World War II-era coastal defenses, offering a glimpse into the island's wartime past.

But Trap Point truly shines as a gateway to wilderness exploration. Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, encompassing a vast area of the island, is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Hike through diverse habitats and observe an abundance of bears, elk, deer, sea lions, and over 200 bird species. Delve deeper into the island's human history at the Alutiiq Museum and Kodiak History Museum. The Alutiiq Museum showcases the rich culture of the indigenous Alutiiq people, while the Kodiak History Museum, housed in the oldest surviving Russian building in Alaska, narrates the story of Russian colonization and subsequent eras.

For those seeking a taste of local nightlife after a day of exploration, Trap Point offers options like the B&B Bar, Tropic's Lounge, and Tony's Bar, all within driving distance in Kodiak.
