Things to do
Fishing
Trails
To get closer to the falls by land walk the top edge of the north beach on the well-defined path below the line of alders or the firm trail just inside the margin of the woods until arriving at the grassy knoll which has been brushed and cleared as a viewing area, about 75 yards from the Falls.
Fishing
Pavlof Harbor State Marine Park is located on Chicagof Island. Chicagof Island hosts the Alaskan communities of Hoonah, Pelican, Tenakee Springs, and Elfin Cove, all lying in the northern reaches of the island. The main commerce on Chicagof is centered around a water-based local economy consisting of guided hunting trips, fishing, and logging.
A state fishing license is usually required.
