Petroglyph Beach State Historic Park

Petroglyph Beach State Historic Park is an archaeological site on the shore of Wrangell, Alaska, featuring the highest concentration of Native American petroglyphs in southeastern Alaska [1]. Located less than a mile from downtown Wrangell, the site contains at least 40 carved images on boulders and bedrock outcrops [1]. The beach and surrounding area date to approximately 8,000 years ago, making it one of the oldest archaeological sites in the region [1]. The site was established as a State Historic Park in 2000 to protect these irreplaceable cultural artifacts [1].
