About
Hasselborg Creek Cabin is a historic three-sided Adirondack-style shelter built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, located at 300 feet elevation at the southern end of scenic Hasselborg Lake. The cabin sits within the 956,255-acre Kootznoowoo Wilderness on Admiralty Island National Monument in Tongass National Forest. This is one of three cabins on the seven-mile-long lake, which forms part of the Admiralty Island Canoe Route. The 12x10-foot shelter features a concrete floor, stone fireplace, wood stove for heat, table and benches, small cook area, and a single bunk bed sleeping two guests (no mattresses provided). An outside pit toilet is available. Visitors must bring their own drinking water as no potable water is available. Firewood may be stacked nearby but is not guaranteed. A small fishing boat with oars is provided at the cabin. The area offers excellent fishing for cutthroat trout, Dolly Varden, and kokanee salmon, with the lake outlet being a prime spot. Primitive trails extend from the cabin into the dense spruce-hemlock forest, connecting to Lake Guerin, Beaver Lake, Lake McKinney, and Hasselborg River. Brown bears frequent the area; visitors should contact the Admiralty Island National Monument office at 907-586-8800 for bear safety information before arrival.
Directions
Access by floatplane only (helicopter access is prohibited in the Wilderness). Flight time from Juneau is approximately 35 minutes. Alternatively, access by canoe with portage from Mole Harbor (approximately 6.5 miles). Refer to USGS topographic maps Sitka C-1 and C-2.
