Young Lake 



This portion of northeast Admiralty Island (18,173 acres) 

 is a high value fish and wildlife area. Admiralty Creek and 

 adjacent streams produce 3 species of salmon - pink, coho, and 

 chum - along with substantial numbers of steelhead, cutthroat, 

 and Dolly Varden. The area supports high numbers of brown 

 bears, deer, marten, and river otters. The expansive estuary 

 and sand spit system provide excellent habitat for migrating 

 and resi-dent waterfowl. Because of its close proximity to 

 Juneau and the 3 Forest Service cabins, this area receives a 

 high amount of recreational use.
