About
Mud Bay Shelter sits on the east side of Kruzof Island within the Tongass National Forest, approximately 15 miles northwest of Sitka. This remote facility features a 3.5-sided shelter equipped with a wood stove and plywood bunks, providing basic protection from the elements in a wilderness setting. The shelter is accessible by boat, followed by overland travel, making it ideal for those seeking a backcountry experience. The facility offers minimal amenities consistent with its remote location. A pit toilet is available on-site, but campers must bring their own water as potable water is not provided. The shelter's wood stove provides heat, though visitors should be prepared to gather firewood. The site experiences light usage, offering solitude for those willing to make the journey. The location provides access to various outdoor activities including day hiking, backpacking, boating (both motorized and non-motorized), mountain biking, and OHV trail riding. A mooring buoy is available nearby at Mud Bay for boat anchorage on a first-come, first-served basis.
