Haines

Built around a port at the northern end of Lynn Canal, Haines grew into a small Alaskan community where coastal access meets the broad Chilkat Valley. The town lies beside Chilkoot Inlet, within reach of the Chilkat River, whose late-autumn salmon runs support one of North America’s best-known gatherings of bald eagles in the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. Tlingit culture remains central to the area’s identity; Chilkat weaving is an internationally recognised Northwest Coast art tradition. Haines also retains Fort William H. Seward, an early 20th-century U.S. Army post and designated National Historic Landmark. Continue to other webcams in the region to compare coastal inlets and river valleys around Haines.
