Eagle Lake Cabin

Overview

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. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Recreation

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. Facilities

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. A bear-proof food storage locker is provided.

Water and electricity are not provided. Water is available from an adjacent stream, but guests should be sure to treat water before drinking or cooking with it ( water safety tips ). It is recommended that guests bring their own water supply.
