The fifth largest city in the state, Sitka offers heritage, history, art and adventure. Here you will notice not only the Russian culture but also the unique climate reminiscent of New England.

If you're looking for a more active pursuit there are miles upon miles of forested trails for hikers to explore. You'll definitely feel the Russian flavor of the city when you come across the domed architecture and cultural dance exhibitions. Other events include a yearly salmon derby, summer music festival and logging championship. Sitka is also home to the Alaska Fine Arts Camp. There is certainly no shortage of things to see or do in this amazing city.

As mentioned before, fishing is big in Sitka. You can sign up for fishing charters and catch amazing marine species in the cold Alaskan waters. The Sitka Point Lodge and Fishing Charters company offers all inclusive packages which include transportation, meals and accommodations. You'll fish for halibut and salmon, which will be cleaned, vacuum packed, flash frozen and boxed for you to take home for dinner. All required licenses, gear and tackle are included in this package. If you love to fish, you cannot beat one of these chartered adventure tours.
