About
Kathleen Lake Cabin sits on level ground within steps of a small beach at the east end of Kathleen Lake on Admiralty Island. This A-frame cedar log cabin provides basic shelter in a remote wilderness setting, featuring wooden bunkbeds for up to 6 people, a sleeping loft, oil stove, cooking counter with shelves, and table with benches. An outhouse is located outside. A skiff with oars is provided for exploring the lake. The surrounding landscape features dense spruce and hemlock forests, glacier-fed streams, and muskeg, with rocky glacier-capped peaks in the distance. Much of the area around the cabin is private Shee Atika Corporation land that has been clearcut, creating a patchwork pattern of logged and unlogged areas. A permit from Shee Atika Corporation is required to hike beyond the immediate cabin area. Anglers can fish for rainbow trout, Dolly Varden, and northern pike. Wildlife viewing opportunities include Sitka black-tailed deer, bald eagles, and brown bears, which are abundant in the area. Visitors may bring a small outboard motor (under 10 horsepower due to wilderness regulations) and must bring personal flotation devices.
Directions
Access is by floatplane only, approximately 30 minutes from Juneau. The cabin is located on the west side of Admiralty Island at the east end of Kathleen Lake. Visitors are responsible for arranging their own air transportation. Refer to USGS topographic maps Sitka D-2 and D-3.
