Flag Point is a remote backcountry access point on the Copper River in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, located approximately 45 miles from Cordova below the Million Dollar Bridge. This primitive paddling site serves as a takeout location for multi-day Copper River float trips and provides access near the towering face of Child's Glacier. Flag Point is accessible only by paddle on the Copper River and is typically used as an endpoint for extended river expeditions. Paddlers should contact the park's backcountry office for current river conditions and accessibility, and complete a backcountry itinerary form before departure. Satellite communication devices are essential, and proper bear safety protocols are required.
