About
Admiralty Cove Cabin offers a true wilderness lodging experience on the northern tip of Admiralty Island in the Tongass National Forest. This traditional pan-abode log cabin sleeps four to six guests on wooden bunks (no mattresses) and includes a table, benches, cooking counter, oil stove for heating, and an outdoor campfire ring. An old CCC shelter on-site provides additional covered space. The cabin overlooks Admiralty Creek and a large grassy tidal meadow, situated about a quarter-mile from the saltwater beach in Admiralty Cove. Access is exclusively by floatplane or boat with anchor. Cabin users must time arrivals and departures carefully, as the large tide flat in Admiralty Cove goes dry at low tide and access is effectively restricted to 15-foot or higher incoming tides. Helicopter access is prohibited in this designated Wilderness area. Visitors must bring all supplies including potable water, sleeping bags and pads, cooking equipment, stove oil (5-10 gallons per week), toilet paper, and garbage bags for pack-out. Recreation opportunities abound: the 4.5-mile Admiralty Cove-Young Lake Trail departs directly from the cabin to North Young Lake cabin, following relatively flat terrain along creeks. Fishing for cutthroat trout, Dolly Varden, and coho salmon is available in the adjacent stream and nearby Young Bay. Brown bears frequent the area, particularly during salmon runs from July through August. Sitka black-tailed deer, bald eagles, harbor seals, Steller sea lions, humpback whales, and waterfowl can be observed throughout the region.
Directions
Access by floatplane (15 minutes from Juneau) or boat with anchor (20 miles from Juneau). Admiralty Cove is a small, open cove within Young Bay on the north end of Admiralty Island. Look for a large pruned opening in the beach fringe visible from water while approaching east of the small island in Admiralty Cove. The cabin is a quarter-mile from saltwater by trail. Helicopter access is prohibited in this Wilderness area. Boat and floatplane access is restricted to 15-foot or higher incoming tides due to the large tide flat. Better anchorage exists west of the small island; hip waders may be needed to cross Admiralty Creek. Refer to USGS topographic map Juneau A-2.
