The False Island boat ramp provides access to the Pacific Ocean's Klawock Inlet near the town of Craig, Alaska. This concrete, single-lane ramp is suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. The ramp is located just north of the Klawock boat harbor, with a nearby parking area that can accommodate 50 vehicles with trailers.
The Klawock Inlet is part of the protected waters of the Pacific Ocean, offering calmer conditions compared to the open ocean. Boaters and paddlers can expect to encounter marine wildlife such as humpback whales, sea otters, and various seabirds. Be prepared for changing weather conditions, as the area can experience cool temperatures and windy conditions, even in summer. The ramp may be steep at low tide, so exercise caution when launching and loading your watercraft.
This boat access site is a recent addition, designed to support the growing number of recreational boaters and anglers in the Klawock area. The city has also constructed a restroom facility on site to serve visitors. While no specific hours or fees are listed, boaters should plan accordingly and be mindful of local regulations when using this public facility.
