Harris Bay is a fjord within Kenai Fjords National Park, close to the town of Seward in Alaska. It is also known as Harris Bay Fjord. The bay is a scenic place to spend time on the water, with calm conditions and sheltered coves that set it apart from the open coast nearby.
What to expect
- Wildlife viewing: The bay is a good place to look for animals, and its sheltered coves offer habitat for harbor seals and sea lions.
- Harris Glacier: The fjord gives access to Harris Glacier, a major feature of the park's icy landscape.
- Calm water: The bay's relatively quiet waters make it a pleasant setting for a slow, observant outing.
