From a historical perspective this is a must see. Dock Point Trail - located on a secluded hill near downtown Valdez and the small boat harbor.

| So you're in Alaska, why not go fishing! Well...if you’re a land-lubber, in Valdez, you can fish from the dock…and catch fish. Charter boats abound in the small boat harbor and their main goal is to see that you “catch your limit”. On your way out to that “great fishing spot”, you can observe Humpback and Orca whales, eagles, Dall porpoise, waterfowl, harbor seals, Stellar sea lions, and playful little otters. Of course, you will be on one of Alaska’s most scenic and pristine waters. Don’t forget the camera…then relax and enjoy! By the way, Valdez has three different fishing derbies each year, make sure you enter…You Might Just Win! |  |
