About
The One Duck Shelter Site is a primitive, three-sided alpine shelter maintained by the U.S. Forest Service in the Craig Ranger District of the Tongass National Forest. Situated at approximately 1,700 feet elevation atop One Duck Trail, the shelter offers sweeping views of the surrounding mountain peaks and alpine muskegs of Prince of Wales Island. The shelter includes four wooden sleeping platforms and a fire ring, making it suitable for small groups of backpackers, hunters, or winter recreationists. Access requires hiking the steep, 1.1-mile One Duck Trail, which gains roughly 1,100 feet in elevation. The trailhead is located on paved Hydaburg Road, about 2.5 miles past the Hollis-Klawock Highway intersection, with parking on the west side of the road. The alpine environment supports Sitka black-tailed deer, black bears, and wolves, and the area is popular for deer hunting in season, as well as cross-country skiing and snowshoeing during winter months. This is a true backcountry shelter with no developed amenities. There are no restrooms, no potable water, and visitors must pack out all trash. The shelter operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no fee or reservations required.
