Reconstruct 0.3 miles of the historic Ship Cove hiking trail located on southern Baranof Island. Much of the route is in poor condition. Reconstruction would address ongoing resource damage and deferred maintenance needs.
Location
The southeast Baranof Island town of Port Alexander is located on the shores of the small bay sharing the same name. The proposed trail work is between Back Lagoon and Ship Cove on Port Conclusion.
