Welcome to Craig Alaska

Our southeast Alaska community is located on the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island, seven miles south of Klawock, about 60 miles northwest of Ketchikan, 750 miles north of Seattle and 220 miles south of Juneau.With an estimated population of 1,400 year-round residents, Craig serves as a transportation center for the island of Prince of Wales and the surrounding communities of Klawock, Thorne Bay, Hydaburg, Coffman Cove, Hollis, Naukati, Port Protection, Whale Pass, Kasaan, and Port Baker.

Timber , commercial fishing, and fish processing are the major industries. Tourism is becoming ever more important due to the abundance of recreational activities. These include charter fishing for salmon and halibut, shrimping and crabbing, deer and bear hunting, wilderness lodge stays, kayaking excursions, wildlife viewing and photography, trail hiking, beach-combing and Native-Alaskan cultural education.

Whatever reason calls you to Prince of Wales Island, you can be assured that once you see and feel the natural beauty of Southeast Alaska, it will be calling you back again and again.
