Pedro Bay, AK

Tucked along the northeastern shore of Iliamna Lake, Pedro Bay is a small, quiet Dena'ina community surrounded by dramatic mountains and open water. Daily life here moves with the seasons, centered around subsistence fishing, hunting, and foraging, with small planes and summer barges keeping locals connected to the rest of Alaska. For anyone considering a move out here, it offers a deeply rooted, off-the-grid lifestyle in one of the state's most scenic lake regions.
