Canoe Passage State Marine Park is an undeveloped 2,507 acre (1,015 ha) Alaska State Park on Hawkins Island. The state park is 8 miles west of Cordova. There is no road access to the island. Popular activities include boating, fishing, hunting, camping, and kayaking.[1] [2] The park is surrounded by forested uplands and wetlands.
The park is home to several crucial habitat areas including otter haul-outs, seal haul-outs, and migratory bird paths. Harbor seal and Steller sea lion sites can be found on the rocks off the entrance on the north side of Hawkins Island.[3] [4]
