West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness

January 31, 2023

The West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness is a federally designated wilderness. It encompasses 265,286 acres (107,357 ha) in Southeastern Alaska, in the United States.[1] It includes Yakobi Island and the entire western side of Chichagof Island, as well as the many small island systems along their coasts.

The wilderness was created through a citizen's proposal after teachers from the area suggested that it would be a good place to preserve. The proposal requested that the wilderness run from Lisianski Inlet south to the north end of Hoonah Sound.[2] The Wilderness was designated in 1980 by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act.[1] It is part of Tongass National Forest, which is managed by the United States Forest Service.
