COMMENTS: A small handfull of residents. Very close to Skagway which is on this site. From Skagway there is a road that leads out to Dyea at the end of Dyea inlet. REMAINS: Scattered remains but not a lot. Some gravestones and building remnants.

Was the launching point for the Gold Rush. The popular picture of men traipsing up and down large hill taking their provisions was taken from Dyea. Many of the steamers taking people to the Gold Rush actually landed on the flats at Dyea. Submitted by: Dan Pearce
