Own Your Own Wild Alaskan Island – Point Baker Harbor, Southeast Alaska
Step off the map and into the wild with this small private island tucked inside the protected waters of Point Baker Harbor on Alaska’s Prince of Wales Island. Surrounded by towering evergreens, rocky shorelines, and world-class fishing grounds, this is the kind of place most people only dream about.
Located in the unorganized borough of Prince of Wales–Hyder, this island sits outside any city, borough, or municipality—meaning no taxes, no zoning, and no restrictions. You decide what to build, how to live, and how far off-grid you want to go.
The island covers about 6,100 square feet of mostly solid rock, with shallow soil and small trees—perfect for setting up a cabin, yurt, or base camp. The views are incredible in every direction, and the nearby Sumner Strait and Stikine River deliver some of the best fishing Alaska has to offer. From the island, you can catch halibut, salmon, crab, and shrimp, and the surrounding wilderness supports deer, bear, and waterfowl hunting during season.
Getting There:
Even though it’s remote, reaching your island isn’t hard if you know your way around the Alaska coast.
• Take the Alaska Marine Highway Ferry from Ketchikan to Hollis on Prince of Wales Island, then drive across the island to Port Protection. From there, it’s just a short skiff ride to Point Baker.
• Or fly Alaska Airlines to Ketchikan, Wrangell, or Petersburg, and charter a floatplane or water taxi straight into Point Baker Harbor.
Local Outpost:
Point Baker may be small, but it’s got what you need—a general store, laundromat, post office, state dock with fuel, and even a seasonal saloon where locals and fishermen swap stories from the Sound.
