Mosquito Cove Trail

Dogs Leashed

Features Wildlife

Please park in the designated trail parking areas and not the Forest Service campground or along the road.

Don't forget your camera! This is a scenic little trail. Large trees, tide-pooling at Mosquito Cove, intimate little trail curves and bridges, birds, and other wildlife make this a wonderful place.

This gravel trail includes both shoreline and forest ecosystems. Located at the north end of Halibut Point Road, within the Forest Service Picnic Area. The trail features several gentle climbs as well as scenic beach-running. The Mosquito Cove Trail is part of the Old Sitka State Historic Site and is managed jointly by the USDA Forest Service and Alaska State Parks.

A runner could combine this with several other pleasant trails in the area including the Forest and Muskeg and the Estuary Life Trails.
