Russell Fiord
In addition to day-trips, multi-day kayak/canoe/camping trips can also be considered by experienced wilderness explorers and paddlers. For those wishing to explore the area by boat, packable or portable kayaks or canoes will need to be carried across this portage or brought in by chartering a local float plane to access this stunning landscape.

The Russell Fiord Trail is located 11.5 miles down Forest Highway 10 (Dangerous River Road) east of Yakutat, towards Harlequin Lake. Turn left on East Gate Road and follow East Gate Road 4.0 miles to the trailhead located at the end of the road.
