The previous tip reported that the Nail Map was gone, but that is distinctly not the case. I visited it on 06/28/2024 and the nails are rusty, but very present.
[Larry Franks, 08/17/2024]Went looking and couldn't find it. Some of the wooden boardwalk has been removed and possibly the nail art as well. RIP!
[ProperNomad, 05/23/2024]Maybe in Alaska nails are more valuable as nails than as art.
Construction along the dock has this fenced off, and possibly removed.
