Bettles Bay State Marine Park is a 679-acre (275 ha) undeveloped Alaska state marine park. There is no road access to the park. The park can be accessed from the lagoon northeast of the islands.[1] [2] [3] The park offers great views of Bettles Glacier. Attractions include an old stamp press and gold mine, just southeast of the park.[4]
Activities include wildlife viewing, boating, and fishing. Although there are campsites, camping is poor due to wetlands.[5]
There are many habitats within the park including estuaries, eelgrass beds, salmon spawning, waterfowl nesting, and sea otter habitats.[6]
