About
Kadake Bay Cabin provides a secluded wilderness experience in southeast Alaska's Tongass National Forest. The modified hunter-style cabin sits at the mouth of Kadake Creek on northeastern Kuiu Island, surrounded by grassy tidal flats and low-elevation old-growth forest. The cabin sleeps up to six people with one double bunk, one single bunk, and a loft. It is equipped with an oil stove (requiring kerosene or #1 diesel fuel), a wooden table, benches, and basic tools. An outhouse with a removable basket system is provided outside. Access to the cabin requires careful planning due to extreme tidal fluctuations. Visitors can reach the site by float plane from Petersburg (39 miles) or by boat from Kake (13 miles). An 18-foot tide or higher is required for direct access; lower tides may require up to a 2-mile walk across mud flats. The remote location demands self-sufficiency: guests must bring their own fuel, drinking water, sleeping bags, cooking equipment, and all food. Water from Kadake Creek must be treated or boiled before consumption. The area is renowned for its fishing and hunting opportunities. Anglers can find coho and pink salmon, steelhead, Dolly Varden, and cutthroat trout in Kadake Creek. Hunters pursue black bears and waterfowl in the surrounding terrain. Wildlife viewing is excellent, with opportunities to observe waterfowl, grouse, and black bears. The combination of tidal flats and old-growth forest creates diverse habitat. Visitors should be aware of bear safety, consult tide tables before arrival, and note that high levels of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning have been recorded in local clams. This is an extremely remote wilderness location requiring proper preparation and outdoor skills.
