Kizhuyak Bay is a coastal bay on the west side of Kodiak Island, Alaska. The primary access point for paddlers is the community of Port Lions, located on the bay's northern shore, which is accessible by boat, small plane, or the Alaska Marine Highway System ferry. A trip report from a packrafter describes paddling down the east shore of the bay from Port Lions to access the KEA Terror Lake hydroelectric project service road, indicating this as a viable route. The bay opens westward into Kupreanof Strait, with notable points including Kizhuyak Point to the south and Uzkosti Point to the north. The surrounding terrain is diverse, ranging from steep mountains to lower elevations, offering dramatic scenery. The area is noted for significant recreation, scenic, and heritage values. Paddlers should be prepared for strong winds, as a trip report specifically mentions avoiding westerly winds forecasted for Kizhuyak Bay by altering travel plans. The bay is adjacent to areas with active commercial fishing and tourism, implying the potential for boat traffic. Wildlife viewing opportunities are present in the broader Kodiak Archipelago. The region is rich in history, encompassing Native culture and Russian settlement.
