Juneau Parks and Outdoors Travel Tips

By Jeremy Pataky

Most charter fishing boats conveniently sell fishing licenses directly on board. Be sure to take your raingear and cameras and find out if you need to pack a lunch.
A short float plane flight from Juneau will get you to Baranof Wilderness Lodge, a world-class wilderness resort with fishing opportunities ranging from freshwater to saltwater, stream or lake, light tackle spinning or flies.
Fish processors will flash freeze, store, and even ship your catch to your home so that it arrives at your door after you’ve made it back from Alaska.
You might see whales, orcas, seals, sea lions, bears, and other wildlife while you’re on the water, making a day of fishing an even more memorable experience.

Juneau Travel Guide

Juneau (June-oh) hustles and bustles like no other city in Alaska. The steep downtown streets echo with the mad shopping sprees of cruise-ship passengers in the summer tourist season and the whispered intrigues of politicians during the winter legislative session. Miners, loggers, and eco-tourism operators come to lobby for their share of Southeast's forest. Lunch hour arrives, and well-to-do state and federal bureaucrats burst from the office buildings to try the latest restaurant or brown-bag on one of the waterfront wharves, the sparkling water before them and gift store malls behind. The center of town becomes an ad hoc pedestrian mall as the crush of people forces cars to creep. Read More
