There are plenty of activities to keep you occupied during your visit to Cordova.From abundant hikes with amazing views, to berry filled trails for you to explore, there is something for everyone, regardless of your fitness level. The Prince William Sound offers world class salmon and halibut fishing, sea kayaking and caneoing - all with amazing views of the spectacular scenery and wildlife. Surrounding glaciers are easily accessible and be viewed by road, foot, or aerial tours. Cordova is well known for its Shorebird Festival each May (when the tidal flats of the Copper River Delta shimmer with the activity of hundreds of thousands of shorebirds on their epic spring migration), though bird watching can be enjoyed year round from the viewing platforms at Alagnaik Slough, or simply when you are out and about! Perhaps one of the activities visitors most enjoy when traveling to Alaska, is wildlife viewing. Sea otters, seals, ermines, and other sea mammals are plentiful - and it's easy to glimpse a furry critter on the Delta, or in the Cordova Harbor in town. While Cordova doesn't offer any typical indoor entertainment facilities (we don't have a movie theatre or a bowling alley), you will enjoy visiting the Ilanka Cultural Centre to view Eyak the Orca - a well preserved Killer Whale skeleton from the Prince William Sound whale pod. Other rainy day activities include visiting the Cordova Historical Museum - visitors find it interesting to see how the town looked prior to the earthquake in 1964. For more ideas, visit the Cordova Chamber of Commerce website.
