This unit is located in southern Alaska and is largely comprised of Prince William Sound. This area is almost entirely comprised of mountains surrounded by glacial peaks. The unit is largely made up of temperate rainforests which receive heavy rainfall throughout the year. Hunters in this area will generally opt to be flown into the unit and will utilize rented boats and skiffs. Great hunting opportunities can be found here along with some of the most breathtaking scenery in Alaska.
This area has become increasingly popular in the last several years due to road access into the Port of Whittier from Anchorage. This larger increase of hunting and other recreational activities is particularly noticeable along the northern end of the sound.
