Sitka is located on Baranof Island in Southeast Alaska.  Lucky Chance is Headquartered at the "Boar's Nest Floathouse"  in Camp Coogan Bay, about a twenty minute boat ride south of town.  Marine Wildlife sightings are a common occurence and may include animals like sea lions, sea otters, and even humpback whales! Seabirds and eagles are also seen, as well as great mountain views on days that are clear.  Bears are often sighted on the tide flat in Camp Coogan Bay as well.   Sitka is in the heart of the Tongass National Forest, which is also a rain forest.  It rains as much as 100 inches annually!  Summer months tend to be milder with less rain, but travelers should be prepared for rain.  Average summer temperatures are between 40-60 degrees F.  So it is fairly cool here!  Lucky chance is a registered guide service providing kayak and canoe rental.  I have a special use permit through the national forest service to provide hiking and shelter at a gem of an upper elevation lake, where brook trout are abundant.  I have inflatable canoes for your use, and spinning and fly rods for fishing.  I also sell fishing licenses.  The hike is moderate to strenuous, with uphill sections.  We hike on natural game trails, not groomed.  I recommend folks be mentally ready for outdoor adventure and in good shape to sign up for this hike!  That being said, my 80 year old dad, and 70 year old mom made the trip to the lake in about 40 minutes.  There is a rain shelter and a fire pit, and a small dock for launching canoes.  For Holland America cruise ship folks who have signed up for "Sitka's Great Adventure"  for your shoreside excursion, I also provide a lunch for you.  I do have a selection of rubber boots and rain gear.   I also do saltwater fishing trips for salmon and rockfish, and whale watching and wildlife  excursions!  And did I mention FREE LODGING!!  With kayak/canoe rental.  Call for details.  Thanks for checking out Lucky Chance Guide Service!
