Pasagshak River State Recreation Site
Just past Mile 30 of Chiniak Rd is the junction with Pasagshak Bay Rd, which continues another 16.5 miles due south. Along its way it passes Pasagshak River State Recreation Site with 12 free campsites near a beautiful stretch of rugged coastline 45 miles from town. This small, riverside campground is famous for its silver and king-salmon fishing and for a river that reverses its flow four times a day with the tides. These scenic areas, not the city, are the true attractions of Kodiak Island.

Shuyak Island State Park
The northernmost island in the Kodiak Archipelago, remote and undeveloped Shuyak is 54 air miles north of Kodiak. It's only 12 miles long and 11 miles wide, but almost all of the island's 47,000 acres are taken up by Shuyak Island State Park, featuring forests of virgin Sitka spruce and a rugged shoreline dotted with secluded beaches. Otters, sea lions and Dall porpoises inhabit offshore waters, while black-tailed deer and a modest population of the famous Kodiak brown bear roam the interior.
