Welcome to Edna Bay

You are at the official Edna Bay Alaska home page. Edna Bay is located in Southeast Alaska on the remote island of Kosciusko (pronounced kah-zee-UH-sko), which resides in the heart of the beautiful Tongass National Forest. Kosciusko is part of a large group of islands named the Alexander Archipelago. This area is home to some of the largest standing old growth Sitka Spruce in the state, as well as many other massive sized evergreens that are part of the rainforests here.

This site is the resource for information about Edna Bay, and images from around the area. Be sure to look through each page on the site, as they all contain lots of different information.

Also, don't forget to leave a comment in the guest book! It means alot to me for guests to leave a signature and a comment. It's the most someone can donate to the site, and it lets me know that the time I'm spending updating and changing the site is worth the effort.

Below is the proposed SEAlaska Corp. land acquisition area. Shown in the map is the land that the Edna Bay and Cape Pole communities occupy in relation to the proposed SEAlaska land claim. Please click the image below to see a larger view.

As can be seen from the above image, the acquisition will - if completed - drastically impact the communities of Edna Bay and Cape Pole. Details on the quality of life, and lifestyle currently offered in the community can be found in the Community History page - all of these things will be forever changed if bill HR3560 is passed with the current specifications that disregard the existence of these communities.

Both communities will lose nearly all access to the inner-island road system that makes the subsistance lifestyle here possible.
