About
Ella Narrows Cabin is a rustic 12' x 14' Pan Abode cabin constructed in 1966, situated on the northern shore of Ella Lake on Revillagigedo Island within the Misty Fjords National Monument Wilderness. The cabin is tucked into a stand of large old-growth spruce, hemlock and cedar trees, offering a secluded wilderness experience with limited lake views. A stream flows nearby, and the property features both a long cobble beach and a white sand beach. The cabin sleeps 4-6 people with two single bunks and two double bunks. Amenities include a wood stove with firewood, cooking counter and table, shelving and cupboard space, and basic tools including ax, maul, splitting wedges and broom. A 14-foot aluminum skiff with oars is provided for exploring the lake. Guests must bring their own life vests, drinking water, and should bring backup firewood as supplies cannot be guaranteed. Ella Lake offers excellent fishing for cutthroat trout, Dolly Varden and kokanee salmon. The surrounding wilderness provides opportunities for hunting Sitka black-tailed deer and black bear in designated seasons. Wildlife in the area includes black bears, Sitka black-tailed deer, beaver, marten, mink and various bird species. Access is by floatplane only, approximately 24 air miles northeast of Ketchikan. The Ella Lake trail from saltwater does not provide cabin access.
