Cordova

The Cordova boat ramp provides direct access to the Pacific Ocean's Orca Inlet near the town of Cordova, Alaska. This public access point is well-suited for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats to explore the scenic waters of Prince William Sound.

The ramp is situated along the shore of the Orca Inlet, a relatively wide and protected body of water that connects to the open ocean. Paddlers can use the ramp to access the inlet and surrounding waterways, which are known for their abundant wildlife viewing opportunities, including encounters with sea otters, bald eagles, and migratory birds. The inlet also serves as an important salmon and coho fishing area.

For boaters, the ramp offers a convenient launch site to reach more remote destinations within Prince William Sound, such as glacier-carved fjords and islands. Users should be aware of the typically cool, windy, and sometimes choppy conditions of the inlet and plan accordingly with appropriate gear and safety equipment.
