Port Walter

Port Walter is located on the southeastern side of Baranof Island in Sitka City and Borough, Alaska.

Little Port Walter was the home of a herring saltery during the turn on the century and the ruins can still be seen.

Little Port Walter had a small community at one time but has been replaced by a research station that studies the life cycles of several species of salmon.

There is a staff of 3–15 state and federal employees running the research station year-round.

The driest month was February 1989 with 0.63 in (16.0 mm), while the hottest day on record was August 12 of 1990 with 88 °F (31.1 °C) and the coldest January 2 of 1966 with 0 °F (−17.8 °C) overnight.
