About
Anan Lake Cabin offers a true backcountry experience on the mainland above Anan Bay in the Tongass National Forest. Built in 1967 with its foundation replaced in 1996, this pre-cut cedar frame cabin sits at 231 feet elevation at the head of Anan Lake. The cabin features two single bunks and two double bunks, a table with benches, and an oil stove requiring #1 stove oil. A 14-foot skiff with oars is provided for lake exploration, though guests must supply their own personal flotation devices. The surrounding terrain features moderate to steep mountain peaks covered primarily with Sitka spruce and western hemlock rainforest, with some cedar and muskeg. A fast-flowing stream runs adjacent to the cabin. Black and brown bears, deer, bald eagles, and waterfowl are abundant. The salmon run in nearby Anan Creek during July and August brings peak bear activity to the area. Recreational opportunities include fishing for cutthroat trout in Anan Lake (May through September) and silver salmon in September. Anan Creek offers steelhead fishing in April and May and pink salmon in July and August. Boulder Lake is accessible via a 0.3-mile primitive trail. The nearby Anan Wildlife Observatory is a popular bear-watching destination during July and August, though access from the cabin is by boat or floatplane only and requires a separate $10 daily permit.
Directions
Accessible by floatplane only, 31 air miles southeast of Wrangell at the head of Anan Lake. Check local conditions in advance as ice may prevent floatplane landings outside the May through October window.
