Firearms Information

As of February 22, 2010, a new federal law allows people who can legally possess firearms under applicable federal and Alaska state law, to legally possess firearms within Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve.

Under federal law, the use or discharge of a firearm is still prohibited within Glacier Bay National Park by applicable provisions of 36 CFR Section 2.4 and 36 CFR Section 13.30. Glacier Bay National Preserve is open to hunting with a valid Alaska hunting license.

Federal law also prohibits firearms in certain facilities in this park; those places are marked with signs at all public entrances.

It is the responsibility of visitors to understand and comply with all applicable Alaska state and federal firearms laws before entering this park. Contact us with questions about firearms by e-mail or by calling (907) 697-2230
