About
Kegan Creek Cabin offers a primitive wilderness lodging experience in the heart of Prince of Wales Island's Tongass National Forest. This 12x12 foot pan-abode style cedar log cabin sits on Kegan Creek near the outlet of Kegan Lake, surrounded by Sitka spruce and western hemlock forest approximately half a mile from a saltwater cove on Moira Sound. The cabin accommodates up to six people with wooden bunkbeds (no mattresses provided), a wood table with benches, a cooking bench, and a wood stove for heat. An outhouse is located outside, and a rowboat with oars is provided for exploring the lake and nearby waters. Visitors must bring their own sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cooking stove, fuel, firewood or biobricks, food, water, and all other personal gear. Water can be sourced from Kegan Creek but must be treated before drinking. The location is prime for anglers targeting salmon runs in Kegan Creek, as well as rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, dolly varden, and various salmon species in the surrounding lakes, streams, and ponds. A half-mile trail along Kegan Creek connects the cabin to both Kegan Cove and Kegan Lake, providing excellent opportunities to observe fish and wildlife. Black bears are frequently seen near the creek during salmon runs, and eagles, gulls, and various other birds are common. Beachcombing at low tide along the cove reveals tidal flats with rocks and sea-treasures. Access requires careful planning as the site is reached by float plane at high tide (30 air miles from Ketchikan, 51 from Craig) or by boat followed by the half-mile hike. Weather conditions can cause extended stays, and winter access can be challenging due to snow and ice.
Directions
Access is by float plane at high tide (30 air miles from Ketchikan, 51 air miles from Craig) or by boat to Kegan Cove followed by a half-mile hike. A mooring buoy is available in the bay on a first-come, first-served basis. Refer to USGS Craig A-1 map. Winter access can be difficult due to snow and ice.
