Things to do in Wrangell, Alaska (AK): The Best Outdoor Activities
The City and Borough of Wrangell (Tlingit: Ḵaachx̱aana.áakʼw) is a borough in the U.S. state of Alaska. As of the 2010 census the population was 2,369. Incorporated as a Unified Home Rule Borough on May 30, 2008, Wrangell was previously a city in the Wrangell-Petersburg Census Area (afterwards renamed the Petersburg Census Area (the Petersburg Borough was formed from part of this census area)). Its Tlingit name is Ḵaachx̱aana.áakʼw (“Ḵaachx̱an’s Little Lake” with áa-kʼw ‘lake-diminutive’). The Tlingit people residing in the Wrangell area, who were there centuries before Europeans, call themselves the Shtaxʼhéen Ḵwáan after the nearby Stikine River. Alternately they use the autonym Shxʼát Ḵwáan, where the meaning of shxʼát is unknown.

9. Petroglyph Beach State Historic Site
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 99 reviews
This beach features petroglyphs, carved symbols in rocks by ancient Native inhabitants.
Reviewed By EKCarr - Tucson, United States
This place was amazing, but one thing visitors ought to know is that the people who live there have claimed a bit of the historic site as their own yard, and the best petroglyph (an incredible orca) is in the part that looks like their yard. Thankfully several locals told us about this, so we felt fine going past all this guy’s trash and kids toys to see the rest of the offerings. Hopefully the town will reclaim this land so it is more obviously accessible to the public. The beach is still absolutely worth seeing even if you don’t feel comfortable entering the house’s encroachment, because there are spectacular petroglyphs all over the beach. It is definitely best to go at low tide, though, so plan accordingly. The site is next to the old city dump, which makes it a beach glass bonanza! And don’t worry — the landfill is completely covered with grass and trees, so you’d never know. The scenery is gorgeous and the sunsets are spectacular. We went back a few times to just enjoy the beach. It is a true treasure.
