Introducing Hoonah
Hoonah is the largest Tlingit village in Southeast Alaska. The Huna, a Tlingit tribe, have lived in the Icy Strait area for hundreds of years, and legend tells of them being forced out of Glacier Bay by an advancing glacier. A store was built on the site of Hoonah in 1883, and an established community has been here ever since.

The town lacks the charm and friendliness (as well as the public bathhouse) of Tenakee Springs, and even much coastal beauty due to intense logging of Port Frederick.
The City of Hoonah (945-3663; PO Box 360, Hoonah) can tell you more about the town, and the USFS Hoonah Ranger District (945-3631) has information about hiking and paddling in the area.
