Afognak Island, Island state park near Kodiak, United States.
The island stretches 43 miles east to west and 23 miles north to south, encompassing 1,812 square kilometers of dense Sitka spruce forests.
The Native settlement of Ag'waneq, located on the island's coast, was evacuated following the significant damage caused by the 1964 Good Friday earthquake.
The Native Village of Afognak maintains strong connections to the island, with many descendants now residing in nearby Port Lions and Kodiak communities.
Visitors reach the island through float plane services from Kodiak, landing at designated freshwater points including Thorsheim Lake, Waterfall Lake, and Portage Lake.
The island supports populations of Kodiak brown bears, Roosevelt elk, and endangered marbled murrelets within its protected state park boundaries.
