Large floating tree blocks navigation near Spoon Island, Juneau AK
TrafficA large tree is floating and blocking navigation in the waterway between Spoon Island and Moon Island. This creates a hazard for boats passing through because hitting the tree at speed could cause damage. The tree is expected to move with the current in 20 to 30 minutes but is currently a major obstruction.
