About Karluk

Karluk is a small Alutiiq village on the southwest coast of Kodiak Island, right where the Karluk River meets the sea. Daily life here centers on the water, with legendary salmon runs providing food for the community and drawing anglers from all over. It is a quiet, close-knit place where residents rely on subsistence hunting, fishing, and small bush planes to stay connected to town.
