About
Josephine Lake Cabin sits at 1,800 feet elevation on the shores of a pristine alpine lake on Prince of Wales Island in southeastern Alaska. The rugged terrain features snow-capped peaks reaching 4,000 feet, stunted trees, and alpine vegetation that bursts into wildflower displays in mid-summer. The area is home to Sitka black-tailed deer and black bears, making it excellent for wildlife viewing and hunting. The primitive cedar log cabin sleeps up to six on wooden bunkbeds and includes a table, benches, cooking counter, shelves, and an oil stove for heat. An outside pit toilet is provided. Guests must bring all supplies including water (or treat lake water), sleeping bags, cooking equipment, toilet paper, #1 diesel fuel for the stove, and garbage bags for pack-out. An aluminum skiff with oars is available for lake exploration. The area is known for its quartz and epidote crystals, with several mining claims nearby. Visitors should respect private property boundaries and avoid prospecting or collecting specimens on private land.
Directions
Access by float plane only. 28 air miles from Craig, 38 air miles from Ketchikan. Guests must walk 75 yards uphill from the lake to the cabin. Refer to USGS maps Craig A-2 and B-2.
