Kupreanof, AK

Located just across the water from Petersburg on Kupreanof Island, Kupreanof is a quiet community of around two dozen residents. There are no cars or paved roads here, so locals get around on foot, by four-wheeler, or by hopping into a skiff to cross the Wrangell Narrows for groceries and everyday essentials. Forest trails lead straight into the surrounding coastal wilderness, offering a rare blend of secluded island living and easy water access to town.
