About
Beecher Pass Cabin offers a remote and rustic place to stay while enjoying the coastal waters and forests of southeastern Alaska. This hunter-style cabin sits on a gravel beach on the south side of Beecher Pass, overlooking scenic Duncan Canal to the north. The surrounding terrain is forested with occasional steep slopes. The cabin is equipped with four single wooden bunks, a table, benches, a wood stove for heat, and a covered deck overlooking the water. An outhouse with pit toilet is provided. Basic tools including a broom, dust pan, axe, and splitting maul are typically available, though may be missing or damaged. Firewood is generally provided for heating the cabin only. No drinking water is available; a small creek 100 yards east of the cabin serves as a water source and must be treated before consumption. Waterfowl hunting is fairly good in Duncan Canal, and the area offers excellent salmon and halibut fishing opportunities. Wildlife in the area includes martens, eagles, herons, deer, and sea mammals. An active beaver pond is located about 200 yards behind the cabin's water source. The island has a history of gold mining from the 1930s, and current mining claims may be active nearby. Visitors must be prepared for remote conditions, bring all camping gear and food, pack out all trash, and be aware of bears, weather hazards, and high levels of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning in local shellfish.
Directions
Accessible only by boat or float plane at any tide. From Petersburg, 17 miles by float plane or 20 miles by boat over protected water with one passage requiring attention to channel markers. From Wrangell, the route crosses Sumner Strait which can be very rough in windy weather. Boats can be anchored anywhere in front of the cabin. USGS topographic map Petersburg C4.
