About

Priest Rock Cabin offers a unique backcountry experience in Lake Clark National Park & Preserve. Situated on a small creek that flows into Lake Clark, the cabin provides sublime views of the upper reaches of the lake with dramatic mountain backdrops. This is true wilderness Alaska: no roads, no electricity, no running water, and no cell service. The cabin accommodates up to six people with three single beds and one queen bed on wooden bunks. A wood stove provides heat, and guests will find a table and chairs inside. An outhouse is located nearby. Visitors must bring their own cook stove, lighter, utensils, sleeping pads, bedding, toilet paper, and drinking water or treatment supplies for lake water. This location is ideal for kayaking, boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Bears frequent the area, so all food, garbage, and scented items must be secured inside the cabin at all times. Hunting and fishing are permitted per Alaska state and federal regulations.

Directions

The cabin is 120 air miles from Anchorage and 8 miles north of Port Alsworth. It is not possible to drive to the cabin. Access requires a floatplane, water taxi from Port Alsworth, or private vessel. Advanced kayakers can paddle from Port Alsworth. There are no mooring buoys at this location.
