Petersburg is located on Frederick Sound near the summer feeding grounds of hundreds of humpback whales. The Stikine-LeConte Wilderness Area, with its beautiful LeConte Glacier calving off tons of bright blue icebergs, is a short boat ride away.

Visit a place that still holds on to its small town roots. Step back in time for our Fourth of July celebration or take a mini-visit to Scandinavia for three days in May as we celebrate Norwegian Independence Day.

We are proud to share our Alaskan hospitality and help you to enjoy the spectacular wilderness that surrounds us. Whether your interest is hiking our many beautiful trails, flightseeing, chartering a boat for whale watching or a glacier trip, birding, sports fishing, or sightseeing, Petersburg has it!

Stay a day, a week, a month, or a lifetime...
