About
Big Shaheen Cabin sits at 300 feet elevation on the shore of seven-mile-long Hasselborg Lake, surrounded by old-growth spruce and hemlock forest in the Kootznoowoo Wilderness. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936, this two-bedroom log cabin accommodates up to eight guests on wooden bunks. The cabin is equipped with an oil stove for heat, a cooking counter, table and benches, and an outside pit toilet. A small fishing boat with oars is provided for exploring the lake. Hasselborg Lake offers excellent fishing for cutthroat trout, Dolly Varden, and kokanee salmon. Primitive trails lead from the cabin to Little Shaheen Cabin (100 yards away) and connect by boat to Lake Guerin, Beaver Lake, and Lake McKinney along the Admiralty Island Canoe Route. Brown bears and Sitka black-tailed deer frequent the area, and bald eagles are commonly spotted. Access is exclusively by float plane (approximately 45 minutes from Juneau) or by canoe with portage from Mole Harbor, about 10 miles distant. Helicopter access is prohibited in this designated wilderness. Guests must be fully self-sufficient, bringing their own drinking water, food, sleeping bags and pads, cook stove, stove oil (10-20 gallons per week), toilet paper, garbage bags, and life jackets.
Directions
Access by float plane (approximately 45 minutes from Juneau) or by canoe with portage, about 10 miles from Mole Harbor via the Admiralty Island Canoe Route. Helicopter access is prohibited in this designated wilderness area. Refer to USGS topographic maps Sitka C-1 and C-2.
