Upper Paguna Arm is a remote paddle-in camping area located at the head of Paguna Arm in Kenai Fjords National Park. The name Paguna is derived from a local Native word meaning "black bear," reflecting the wildlife habitat in this region. This backcountry site is accessible only by kayak or other non-motorized watercraft and requires paddlers to be self-sufficient and experienced. The area features a freshwater pond near the camping area which serves as important bat foraging habitat and has been the subject of park research. Campers must practice proper bear-aware food storage and follow Leave No Trace principles. The site offers wilderness camping with dramatic fjord scenery and opportunities for wildlife viewing, though no facilities or services are provided.
