On Kodiak's southwest coast, the city of Karluk sits astride the Karluk River. The landscape is characterized by low-lying mountains cut by rivers and streams. More than thirty registered archaeological sites along the Karluk River continue to render more evidence of the area's original inhabitants.

For anglers, Karluk means world-class sport fishing. Several lodges and cabins are available, or you can float the river.
