About
Jordan Lake Cabin sits on the southwest shore of Jordan Lake within the Naha Recreation Area on Revillagigedo Island, about 15 miles from Ketchikan. This rustic 12x12 Pan-Abode log cabin was constructed in 1965 and offers a peaceful backcountry retreat surrounded by old-growth Sitka spruce and western hemlock rainforest. The cabin sleeps up to 6 people with two single bunks and two double bunks. Access requires either hiking the scenic Naha River National Recreation Trail 4 miles from Naha Bay or 2 miles from Heckman Lake, or flying in by floatplane to Heckman Lake. While some floatplane pilots will land directly on Jordan Lake, many will not due to its small size. The access trail winds downstream along the Naha River through lush rainforest, offering exceptional scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities. The cabin is equipped with a wood stove, cooking counter and table, shelves, cupboard space, and basic tools. A 14-foot aluminum skiff with oars is provided for fishing on the lake. The Naha River offers excellent fishing for trout, Dolly Varden, steelhead, and salmon. Wildlife in the area includes Sitka black-tailed deer, black bear, beaver, marten, otter, mink, wolf, and trumpeter swans.
Directions
The cabin is approximately 15 miles from Ketchikan within the Naha Recreation Area. Access is by boating to Naha Bay and hiking 4 miles on the Naha River National Recreation Trail, or by floatplane to Heckman Lake and hiking 2 miles. Some floatplane pilots will land directly on Jordan Lake, though most will not due to its small size. Refer to USGS Ketchikan C-5 map.
