Planning Your Cabin Trip

Try to plan a day in Ketchikan on either side of your cabin trip in case of weather delay.

Cabins are Booked from 12:00 to 12:00

Find a Cabin you’d like to visit, the majority of USFS cabins are the same basic “A” frame shape. They include a stove for heating, two wooden bunks, a table, and a small kitchen area. They all have basic pit toilets and no running water, you can boil water using our camp kit but it is recommended to bring a water filter. All the cabins have a metal skiff that comes with oars, double check with us on the state of the boat when making a reservation because they can be damaged in the winter time. If you’d rather not row we also have outboard motors for rent.
