Endicott River Wilderness

The Endicott River Wilderness encompasses 98,729 acres of untouched natural landscape, featuring diverse ecosystems and abundant wildlife within the Tongass National Forest.

The United States Congress designated this area as a protected wilderness in 1980, establishing it as a permanent natural sanctuary in southeastern Alaska.

The wilderness area maintains connections to Indigenous communities who have lived on these lands, preserving traditional practices and knowledge of the natural environment.

Access to the wilderness requires transportation by boat or floatplane, and visitors should prepare for remote conditions with proper equipment and wilderness survival skills.

The Endicott River flows through the protected zone, creating habitats for multiple salmon species and attracting various animals throughout their migration cycles.
