About
Manzanita Lake Cabin sits on the scenic northwest arm of Manzanita Lake, approximately 28 miles northeast of Ketchikan on Revillagigedo Island within the Misty Fjords National Monument Wilderness. This remote pan-abode style cabin, constructed in 1973, measures 12x14 feet and accommodates up to 6 people with 2 single bunks and 2 double bunks. The cabin includes a table with benches, cooking counter, food storage, broom, and a wood stove for heat. An outhouse is located nearby. The cabin is positioned about 100 yards from the lake shore beside a spectacular series of cascading waterfalls, offering views of steep granite walls and snow-capped peaks. Surrounded by large old-growth spruce, hemlock, and cedar, the setting provides exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities. A 14-foot aluminum skiff with oars is provided for exploring the lake and stream inlet delta, though visitors must bring their own life jackets. The lake offers excellent fishing for cutthroat trout, Dolly Varden, and kokanee salmon. Sitka black-tailed deer and black bear hunting is possible with appropriate permits. The Misty Fjords Monument Wilderness supports diverse wildlife including mountain goats, bears, deer, moose, bald eagles, and beavers. This primitive cabin has no electricity, indoor plumbing, or cell phone coverage. Visitors must bring drinking water, biobricks for the wood stove, sleeping bags, cooking gear, and all supplies.
