Point Bridget State Park
(Web version)
(Southeast Alaska)
This beautiful 2,850 acre state park,
located forty miles north of Juneau, offers meadows, cliffs, spectacular views,
salmon spawning streams, rocky beaches, and the sea. In the winter the meadows
and open forest allow for excellent skiing and snowshoeing opportunities. Point
Bridget State Park was created in 1988 by Alaska State Legislature. This was the
culmination of a decade and a half of effort by recreations, conservationists
and the Juneau Area State Parks Advisory Board to have a state park for the
state capitol.
History
Long before white man arrived, the Auks, a group of Tlingit Natives, had summer
homes and harvested the area’s rich natural resources. Point Bridget was named
in 1794 by Captain Vancouver, probably for his mother, Bridget Berners. Cowee
Creek was named after the Auk Chief who was credited with guiding Joe Juneau and
Dick Harris to the gold in Silver Bow Basin in 1880. This led to the founding of
Juneau. Gold was found north of Berners Bay and east of Point Bridget, but there
is no record of a discovery within the Park.
