About
Black Bear Lake Cabin sits at 1,700 feet elevation on the shore of a cold, clear alpine lake surrounded by rugged mountain peaks reaching nearly 4,000 feet. Located high in the Klawock Mountains on Prince of Wales Island, this remote 12x12-foot pan-abode cedar log cabin offers a true wilderness experience in the heart of the Tongass National Forest. Access is exclusively by floatplane, approximately 50 air miles from Ketchikan or 12 miles northeast of Craig. The cabin sleeps up to six on wooden bunkbeds (no mattresses) and is equipped with a wood stove for heating, a table with benches, cooking counter, shelves, and cupboard space. An aluminum skiff with oars is provided for exploring the lake. A pit toilet is located outside. There is no running water or electricity. Visitors must be fully self-sufficient, bringing all food, drinking water, sleeping bags and pads, cooking stove and fuel, biobricks or firewood for the stove, lantern, cookware, toilet paper, personal flotation devices, first aid kit, and garbage bags. All trash and food must be packed out. The terrain features a mixture of old-growth forest and alpine vegetation with stunning wildflower displays in mid-summer. Wildlife includes Sitka black-tailed deer and black bears, with hunting opportunities in season. The lake supports a resident population of rainbow trout offering fair fishing.
Directions
Access by floatplane only. Located approximately 50 air miles from Ketchikan and 12 miles northeast of the city of Craig on Prince of Wales Island. Visitors must walk 20 yards from the lake to the cabin. Refer to USGS map Craig C-3.
