Swanson Harbor is a small sheltered anchorage at the mouth of Lynn Canal, used by small boats and by trollers fishing the Icy Strait shore, with public mooring floats on its shore.
Practical
Coordinate is the USGS place-name (GNIS) position, via OSM; OSM maps Swanson Harbor Floats close by at 58.2128, -135.1101. One older reference places it between Couverden, Ansley and Entrance islands, about 25 miles south-west of Juneau. Float condition, depths and holding are unconfirmed; SailSpo found no current guidance, so treat it as a fair-weather option and check the chart.
