Douglas Island

|
Douglas Island is an island just west of Juneau, Alaska, slightly north of Admiralty Cove. It is separated from mainland Juneau by the Gastineau channel, over which there is a single bridge. Recently, there have been plans to build a new bridge from North Douglas to the Mendenhall Valley.
Douglas Island has many interesting features:
- The remnants of late 19th century to early 20th century gold mines
- Sandy Beach, the only beach in the Juneau area which is sandy
- Eaglecrest Ski Area
- The Douglas Public Library
Douglas is usually thought of as two areas:
- Downtown Douglas Island
- Sandy Beach
- Mines
- Douglas Public Library
- Bridge to Juneau
- North Douglas Island
- Eaglecrest Ski Area
- A heliport
