What to see in Petersburg (Alaska)

• Le Conte Glacier | The southernmost tidewater glacier in the northern hemisphere. The glacier moves extremely quickly, offering almost continual calving, including underwater calving leading to "shooters" as icebergs rise rapidly to the surface from the hundreds of feet of submerged ice. Hundreds of harbor seals also inhabit the fjord created by the glacier; closer to the face you're likely to see them lolling about on icebergs.

• Clausen Memorial Museum - Has local history exhibits.

Best things to do in Petersburg (Alaska)

As Petersburg is located on the south end of Frederick Sound, where many humpback whales summer, it is an ideal starting point for whale watching. Although it's less comfortable to be out on the sound during rougher weather, days with lots of waves are better for seeing aerial displays.

• Blind River Rapids - Mile 14.2 on Mitkof Highway - A boardwalk through the muskeg to Blind Slough, where the salmon are numerous and other wildlife is often visible.

• Boardwalk | Behind the school there's a boardwalk through the muskeg (extremely soft nutrient poor meadow) that's worth walking.

Because Petersburg doesn't have a deep water port, it doesn't get the large cruise ships; thus, it isn't overrun with the large cruise line operated tourist shops that plague many such coastal towns. There are a few little locally owned galleries with local artists, and a bookstore with some nice coffee table books, but most of the town actually exists for the local population.
