Finnegan's Point

Dappled sunlight illuminates a painted wooden post sign marking Finnegan's Point. The trunk of a tree and leafy green vegetation sit behind the marker.

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 archaeological deposit sites to an adjacent area.
