About
A stay at Marten Lake Cabin provides a unique experience at a remote, backcountry lake only accessible by floatplane. The 12-by-14 cabin sits in a relatively flat valley on the north side of Marten Lake, above Blake Channel and Bradfield Canal, 25 miles southeast of Wrangell at an elevation of 178 feet. The pan-abode style cabin features single and double bunks to sleep up to four people, a table and benches, and a wood-burning stove for heat. The surrounding rainforest is primarily Sitka spruce and western hemlock with some cedar, and there is a sand beach in front of the cabin at low and moderate lake levels. Anglers can fish for cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden in Marten Lake and nearby Clay Lake, with steelhead available in lower Marten Creek. A skiff with oars is provided at the cabin for rowing around the lake. Bear and mountain goat hunting is possible in designated seasons with proper permits. The area is home to brown and black bears, moose, and mountain goats. The cabin has a wooden cooler box for food storage on the partially covered front porch and an outhouse nearby. Water is available from a stream behind the cabin but must be treated before use. Guests must bring their own firewood, sleeping bags, cooking equipment, food, and other supplies. The cabin is extremely remote with no cell phone service, and visitors are responsible for arranging floatplane transportation.
Directions
The cabin is located at the north end of Marten Lake, southeast of Wrangell. The lake is on the mainland at an elevation of 178 feet above Blake Channel and the Bradfield Canal. This cabin is accessible by floatplane only and is 25 miles by air from Wrangell.
