These logs are part of an abandoned fish trap near the park boundary with the city of Gustavus. Fish traps were used in Southeast Alaska to catch salmon until the late 1950s and were an important source of income. A line of logs led from the shore to deeper water. Nets hung from the logs and channeled salmon into a maze where they were then harvested.
