About
Black Bear Lake Cabin provides a unique wilderness lodging experience in the rugged Klawock Mountains of Prince of Wales Island in southeastern Alaska. This primitive 12x12-ft pan-abode style cedar log cabin sits just 20 yards from the shoreline of Black Bear Lake at an elevation of 1,700 feet, surrounded by snow-capped peaks reaching nearly 4,000 feet. The cabin accommodates up to six people on wooden bunkbeds without mattresses and is equipped with a wood stove for heat, table, benches, cooking counter, shelves, and cupboard space. An outside pit toilet is provided, along with an aluminum skiff with oars for lake use. Visitors must bring all their own supplies including food, water or water treatment, Bio brick compressed logs for the woodstove, sleeping bags and pads, cook stove and fuel, personal floatation devices, and garbage bags. The cabin has no running water or electricity. The setting showcases spectacular alpine scenery with a mixture of old-growth forest and alpine vegetation displaying wildflowers in mid-summer. Anglers can fish for resident rainbow trout, while hunters can pursue black bear during spring and fall seasons and Sitka black-tailed deer from late summer through late fall. The area is ideal for wildlife viewing, hiking, kayaking, and photography. Access is by floatplane only from Ketchikan (50 air miles) or Craig (12 miles). The lake is typically ice-free from mid-June to September; from October to mid-June, the cabin may be inaccessible due to frozen lake surface.
Directions
Access by floatplane only, approximately 50 air miles from Ketchikan or 12 miles northeast of Craig on Prince of Wales Island. Cabin is located 20 yards from the lake shore. Refer to USGS map Craig C-3.
