About
Young Lake South Cabin provides a remote wilderness lodging experience in the Kootznoowoo Wilderness on Admiralty Island National Monument within the Tongass National Forest. This pan-abode style cedar log cabin sits in a forested area 50 feet back from the south end of Young Lake at 320 feet elevation. The one-room cabin sleeps 4-6 people on wooden bunks without mattresses and is equipped with a table, benches, cooking counter, shelves, an oil heating stove, and an outside pit toilet. The cabin is accessible only by floatplane, approximately 15-20 minutes from Juneau. The lake is normally ice-free from mid-May through November, but may be inaccessible during fall, winter, and early spring when the lake surface freezes. A skiff with oars is provided at the cabin for exploring the lake and fishing. Guests may bring small outboard motors under 10 horsepower per wilderness regulations. Young Lake offers excellent fishing for cutthroat trout, dolly varden, and coho salmon. The Admiralty Cove-Young Lake trail begins at the cabin and extends 4.5 miles to Admiralty Cabin, following relatively flat terrain along creeks. Brown bears frequent the area, especially during salmon runs from July through August. The remote wilderness setting provides opportunities for wildlife viewing including Sitka black-tailed deer and bald eagles, berry picking, and experiencing the dense spruce and hemlock forests characteristic of the Tongass.
Directions
Access by floatplane only from Juneau, approximately 15-20 minute flight. Alternative hiking access via 5.8-mile trail from Admiralty Cove. Helicopter access is prohibited in this designated Wilderness area. Refer to USGS topographic map Juneau A-2.
