About
Kah Sheets Lake Cabin is a modified A-frame USFS cabin built in 1989, situated at the southeast end of Kah Sheets Lake at 156 feet elevation on Kupreanof Island. The name "Kah Sheets" is a Tlingit term meaning "by the fisheries," reflecting the area's reputation for excellent salmon and trout fishing. The cabin, outhouse, dock, and connecting boardwalk trails are fully barrier-free and wheelchair accessible. The cabin accommodates up to seven guests with two single wooden bunks and a sleeping loft. Amenities include an oil heater (guests must bring #1 stove oil), wooden table and benches, covered deck, pit toilet outhouse, and two rowboats with oars (life jackets not provided). There is no potable water; guests must bring water or treat lake water. Firewood at the cabin is supplied for heating only, not for outdoor campfires. The Kah Sheets Lake Trail begins behind the cabin and traverses 2.75 miles of muskeg and forest to Kah Sheets Bay, with spur trails leading to viewing platforms along the creek. The surrounding area offers excellent wildlife viewing, particularly for bears and waterfowl, and hunting is available in season.
Directions
Access by float plane is 22 miles from Petersburg. By boat and trail, it is 24 miles from Petersburg to Kah Sheets Bay (an 18-foot tide is required for direct boat access to the trailhead), then a 2.75-mile hike on boardwalk trail to the cabin. Refer to USGS topographic map Petersburg C4.
