Eagle Lake Cabin

A stay at Eagle Lake Cabin provides for a uniquely Alaskan experience at a remote, fly-in only lake. Eagle Lake is 44 air miles south of Wrangell, Alaska, and recognized as a trophy cutthroat lake. The site can only be accessed by float plane, depending on conditions; the lake freezes in winter, which may prevent float planes from landing. Anglers can fish for cutthroat trout in the lake from May through September. Guests can use the provided skiff with oars, but must provide their own flotation devices. Hunting is possible in designated seasons with the proper permits. The 12-by-14 cabin (hunter-style) has two single and two double bunks, to sleep up to six people. It is also equipped with a table and benches, broom, wood stove and an outhouse toilet, and a bear-proof food storage locker is provided. Water and electricity are not provided; water is available from an adjacent stream but must be treated, and bringing your own is recommended. Guests provide their own firewood, cook stove, cookware, bedding, lighting and food, and pack out trash and clean the cabin before leaving. The cabin sits on a gravel outwash, with a view over Eagle Lake. The surrounding rainforest is primarily Sitka spruce and western hemlock with scattered cedar, and steep hills provide the backdrop for the cabin and the lake. This area provides habitat for brown and black bears, and mountain goats may be seen on the surrounding ridges.
