About
North Beach Cabin offers a remote backcountry experience on the western shore of Kruzof Island in the Tongass National Forest. The A-frame cabin sits just above a sandy beach with spectacular views of cresting waves on the Gulf of Alaska's outer coast. Surrounded by hemlock and spruce forest, the area features relatively flat terrain ideal for exploration. Brown bears frequent the area. The cabin includes an oil stove for heat (bring #1 diesel fuel), table with benches, cooking counter, broom, and outhouse. A sleeping loft accessed by vertical ladder supplements the double plywood bunk bed. Visitors must bring their own sleeping bags, cooking equipment, food, toilet paper, lantern, fire extinguisher, and garbage bags. Water is available from a creek 1/3 mile from the cabin but must be treated before use; bringing your own water is recommended. Nearly 40 miles of old logging roads provide opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and ATV riding. Fishing is fair for Dolly Varden trout, coho, and pink salmon in local streams. Note that a 10-foot drop-off has developed about 150 feet in front of the cabin.
Directions
Located 20 air miles northwest of Sitka on Kruzof Island's western shore. Access by boat (45 minutes from Sitka to Mud Bay), then 7.5-mile hike or ATV ride on old logging roads to a T at Iris Meadows. Turn right about 1/8 mile, then left on road crossing meadows. After crossing Iris Creek, continue about 1 mile to ATV trail turning left, then 1/4 mile to cabin. Also accessible by helicopter at lower tides.
