Nps Priest Rock Public Use Cabin

About

The Priest Rock Cabin sits on the north shore of Lake Clark in Lake Clark National Preserve, commanding sublime views of the lake's upper reaches backed by mountains rising to 6,000 feet. Named after the nearby rock formation significant to the Dena'ina people, this remote cabin is located 120 air miles from Anchorage and eight miles north of Port Alsworth. Access is exclusively by floatplane or boat; no mooring buoys are available, and visitors must arrange their own transportation. The rustic cabin accommodates up to six people and features wooden bunks with three single beds and one queen bed, a wood stove for heating, a table with chairs, and a nearby outhouse. There is no electricity or running water. Visitors must bring their own cook stove, lighter, utensils, sleeping pads, bedding, toilet paper, and drinking water or means to treat lake water. All food and scented items must be secured inside the cabin due to bear activity. This is an ideal location for kayaking, boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Dogs are permitted. The maximum stay is five consecutive nights, with a total annual limit of 21 nights per calendar year. Visitors must pack out all trash and remaining food.
