Review:
The Herring Cove Trail is a popular walking and hiking trail that local and visiting families flock to for a day in Sitka’s stunning outdoors. There are multiple trail distances depending on which route you take and how far you want to go, but the entire length of the trail is suitable for moderate hikers and those with younger visitors. During your excursion you’ll be able to take in so much of Sitka’s natural beauty, from wildlife and muskeg to expansive vistas of the rugged mountains nearby. There are many features you’ll come across while on the trail including several picnic pads, a lake fitted with aluminum rowboat for public use, and a series of streams and waterfalls.
