Point Adolphus
Point Adolphus is located on the northern tip of Chichagof Island and the southern side of Icy Strait. This area is a great spot for watching humpback whales in addition to being a good birding site. At this site, it is common to see Marbled Murrelet, Pigeon Guillemot, Pacific Loon, Pelagic Cormorant, and Black-legged Kittiwakes during the summer. There is a Forest Service-maintained cabin (Pinta Cove Shelter/Lookout Cabin) available near Point Adolphus and available on a first-come basis at no cost.
Directions:
The area can be accessed by charter/tour boat services. Contact the local visitor association for information on charter/tour companies that can provide access and tour services for this area and to arrange a day trip, facilitate sea kayak exploration, or overnight camping in the area.
