Whittier Boat Ramp features three modern launch lanes and two mooring floats, completed in 2009 to accommodate increased recreational boating and fishing activity.

The facility provides convenient access to Prince William Sound's thousands of miles of undeveloped shorelines and is part of the full-service Whittier Harbor, which offers fuel, tackle, overnight lodging, and trailer parking.

Note that access to Whittier requires passage through the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, which operates on a rigid schedule coordinated with the Alaska Railroad.
