Eldred Rock (also known as Nechraje[1]) is an island in the boroughs of Juneau and Haines, Alaska, United States.[2] Located in Lynn Canal, it is 2.7 miles (4.3 km) southeast of Kataguni Island and 55 miles (89 km) northwest of the city of Juneau. This island is the site of the Eldred Rock Light, a lighthouse built in 1905 and staffed until the United States Coast Guard automated its operation in 1973.
The Eldred Rock Coast Guard Heliport is also located on the island.[3]
