Much of this inlet is off-limits to motorized boats during the summer months, making it an ideal area for kayakers looking for tranquility. The McBride Glacier, Muir Glacier, and Riggs Glacier are all tidewater glaciers accessible to kayakers. In addition, seals, bears, moose, wolves, and other animals are likely companions while exploring the inlet.
Muir Inlet is an inlet in Glacier Bay in Alaska in the United States. Muir Inlet heads in Muir Glacier, and extends for 48 kilometers (30 mi) south to Glacier Bay, 51 miles (82 km) northwest of Hoonah, Alaska. Muir Inlet is separated from Chilkat Inlet and Lynn Canal by the Chilkat Range. Muir Inlet has several glaciers' termini in addition to that of Muir Glacier; most prominent among them are Casement Glacier, McBride Glacier, and Riggs Glacier. In the west lies Wachusett Inlet and in the east Adam's Inlet.

A massive tidewater glacier located in the bay's west arm. This glacier calves ice in such large quantities that it is seldom possible for ships to approach closer than two miles from the glacier's face.
