About
Pinta Cove Shelter is an Adirondack-style emergency shelter situated on Icy Strait at the northern tip of Chichagof Island in the Tongass National Forest. The shelter offers a basic refuge for boaters and outdoor recreationists exploring Alaska's remote coastal wilderness. The shelter is equipped with a wood stove for heating, a food preparation table, and sleeping bunks. No firewood is provided, so visitors must bring their own or collect from the surrounding area. Potable water is not available, and there are no restroom facilities. Access is exclusively by boat, either motorized or non-motorized, from Hoonah approximately 18 miles to the east. The area offers opportunities for boating, swimming, picnicking, and observing the coastal scenery and plant life typical of Southeast Alaska.
Directions
Access by boat only. Located on Icy Strait at the northern tip of Chichagof Island, 18 miles west of Hoonah.
