| Most
of the over 150 cabins in the Tongass National Forest are accessible
by float plane but many can be reached by boat or trail.
The Forest
Service recreational cabins are located in some of the most
productive fishing and
hunting areas of the region. Hiking trails provide access
to beaches, streams, hunting areas, and countless opportunities
to view and photograph magnificent scenery. Fishing opportunities
at the cabins include Steel Head, Rainbow, and Cutthroat trout,
Dolly Varden, Grayling, and Salmon.
Most cabins
are equipped with a wood heating stove (although a few have
oil stoves), plywood bunks, and a table. Cabin users should
bring their own bedding. Air matresses, cooking and eating utensils,
camp stoves and lanterns are available on a rental basis from
Alaska Wilderness Outfitters.
Most cabins sleep four or more, but you should get specific
information on any cabin you are interested in prior to making
reservations. (Equipment rental price list)
Skiffs are
furnished by the Forest Service at most cabins located on lakes.
Oars are provided, but Alaska Wilderness Outfitting can supply
a small outboard motor or an inflatable
boat & motor to add to the enjoyment of your stay.
