Several trails around town have recently been completed and upgraded allowing exercise or a stroll in the woods. The new Hungry Point Trail, a gravel- path through the muskeg (peat bog), connects the ballpark to Sandy Beach Road.

Sandy Beach Park has shelters available for picnics and family fun. The park features a full-size playground, a stunning view of the Frederick Sound and a recently, roughed-in beachside trail.

Petersburg’s harbors are home to a large fleet of fishing boats equipped for harvesting salmon halibut, black cod, and four species of crab. Recent renovations to the Petersburg’s harbor allow for docking of the growing fishing fleet and space for more small cruise ships and pleasure boats.

Newly constructed Overlook Park, about halfway between Hungry Point and Sandy Beach, has a shelter overlooking Frederick Sound. The shelter has telescopes for viewing wildlife, the mainland mountains, glaciers, and Devil’s Thumb.

A recent addition to Mountain View Manor, senior housing, has doubled the size of the facility and now also provides assisted living residences.
