About
Lake Eva Cabin sits in a spruce and hemlock forest overlooking Lake Eva at 194 feet elevation on the northeast coast of Baranof Island. This 12' x 14' Pan Abode style cabin accommodates up to 6 people and features wooden bunks, a table with benches, cooking counter, cupboard, and an oil stove for heat. The cabin has barrier-free access features including an accessible dock, boardwalk, and ADA-accessible outhouse. Access is exclusively by floatplane with a 25-minute flight from Sitka. The lake typically freezes from December through early May, making floatplane landings impossible during winter months. A skiff with oars is provided at the cabin for exploring the lake and accessing the Lake Eva-Hanus Bay Trail, which stretches about a mile to saltwater. Fishing is the primary draw, with cutthroat and Dolly Varden available year-round and best from April to late June. The outlet stream sees steelhead runs April through June, sockeye mid-July through August, and coho salmon September through October. Guests must bring all supplies including sleeping bags, cook stove, lantern, food, toilet paper, garbage bags, and 10 gallons of #1 diesel fuel for a 3-day stay. Brown bear and deer inhabit the area.

Located 27 air miles northeast of Sitka on the northeast coast of Baranof Island. Access is by floatplane only, approximately 25 minutes from Sitka. Contact Sitka Convention and Visitors Bureau at 907-747-5940 for air charter information.
