A rails-to-trails route on part of the Yakutat Southern Railroad, the Fish Train that once carried fish from a Situk River cannery to the Yakutat dock. Access it from the town end near the school, where the original locomotive and interpretive panels stand, or from the airport end. It is less than a quarter mile from the ferry terminal, 2.5 miles one way with under 100 feet of gain, usable year-round and good for road or mountain bikes.
