Salmon Lake Trail- Tongass National Forest

Courtesy of Sitka Trail Works: The trail begins on the east side of the mouth of Salmon Lake stream, the westernmost inlet stream at the head of Silver Bay. The initial section of the trail is narrow and skirts along the base of a small cliff. The trail continues along the eastern shore of the estuary for the first quarter mile and then enters a forest of Sitka Spruce, western hemlock, and Alaska yellow cedar. Salmon Lake is visible to hikers after about a mile.
