About
Power Creek Cabin is a rustic Forest Service rental cabin located in the Chugach National Forest, 4.2 miles from the Power Creek Trailhead near Cordova, Alaska. At 500 feet elevation, the 12x20-foot cabin with loft sits in a spruce-hemlock forest above Power Creek Valley, surrounded by steep mountains and glacier-fed streams. The cabin sleeps up to 8 guests on wooden bunkbeds and features a covered deck, table, oil stove requiring visitor-provided fuel (#1 stove oil or kerosene), rainwater catchment barrel, and outdoor pit toilet. The Power Creek Trail offers excellent hiking through rainforest terrain past waterfalls, with opportunities to connect to Crater Lake Trail for a 12.5-mile loop featuring exposed ridge traverses and panoramic views of Orca Inlet, Eyak Lake, and surrounding peaks. The area provides habitat for mountain goats, brown bears, black bears, moose, and waterfowl. Hunters utilize the area for bear in spring and fall, and deer from late summer through late fall. Limited fishing for small Dolly Varden is available in nearby streams. Visitors should note that beaver activity has created a stream crossing less than one mile from the cabin that may require fording knee-deep or greater water. Maximum stay is seven consecutive days.
Directions
Access to the cabin is by hiking only. Hike 4.2 miles on the Power Creek Trail to reach the facility. The trailhead is located at the end of Power Creek Road, approximately 6.9 miles north of Cordova. Note that beaver activity has created a stream crossing less than one mile before the cabin that may require fording knee-deep or greater water.
