Finnegan's Point

A painted wooden marker denotes the campgrounds at Finnegan's point. It leans against the trunk of a tree surrounded by verdant foliage.

Finnegan's Point, located about five miles north of the Dyea townsite, was the first campsite that served Stampeders and packers. By April 1898, Pat Finnegan constructed a toll road across the Taiya River at the head of the point of navigation. Many hikers have used this as either an overnight camping area or a temporary warming spot. In the 1980s, the NPS relocated the camping area away from the richest archeological deposit sites to an adjacent area.
