About This Access Site
Northeast Harbor in Seward, Alaska provides easy access to the stunning Resurrection Bay and the nearby Kenai Fjords National Park. This boat ramp is a popular launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters exploring the deep, fjord-like waters of the bay.

Resurrection Bay is a large, glacially-carved inlet of the Pacific Ocean, reaching depths of up to 972 feet near the coast. The bay is surrounded by the dramatic Aialik and Resurrection Peninsulas, offering ample opportunities to spot whales, sea otters, puffins, and other abundant marine wildlife, especially during the peak summer season. Boaters should be prepared for the dynamic conditions that can arise in this open ocean environment.

The Northeast Harbor boat ramp is conveniently located near downtown Seward, making it a convenient starting point to access the wonders of Resurrection Bay and the Kenai Fjords region. Paddlers and boaters should review tides, weather forecasts, and safety guidelines before venturing out, as conditions can change rapidly in this remote Alaskan landscape.
