Reflection Lake Cabin
Open year-round via Recreation.gov reservations. May be inaccessible in fall, winter, and early spring due to frozen lake surface preventing float plane landings. The bridge near Short Bay is out; hikers must ford Short Creek during low water conditions. Boat access is not recommended due to the missing bridge.

About
Reflection Lake Cabin is a 12x14-ft Pan Abode log cabin constructed in 1967, situated on the northeast shore of Reflection Lake on the Cleveland Peninsula in Tongass National Forest. The cabin sits in a heavily wooded area backed by hills, with rolling muskegs and stunning views of steep mountains reaching 5,000 feet with clinging ice fields. Wildlife in the area includes Sitka black-tailed deer, black and brown bear, mountain goat, wolf, beaver, marten, mink, and otter. The cabin sleeps six with two single and two double bunks, and includes a wood stove for heating, table and benches, cooking counter, food storage, and an outhouse. A 14-foot aluminum skiff with oars is provided for exploring the lake. Guests must bring sleeping bags, pads, cooking gear, lanterns, food, toilet paper, garbage bags, fire starter, rain gear, boots, life jackets, and firewood. Fishing opportunities include steelhead and salmon runs in Short Creek, with resident Dolly Varden and trout in the lake. The 2.3-mile Reflection Lake Trail connects Short Bay to the cabin, though the bridge near Short Bay is out, requiring a stream ford during low water only.
Directions
Approximately 50 air miles from Ketchikan on Cleveland Peninsula, northwest of Short Bay. Access by float plane landing on Reflection Lake, or by boat to Short Bay with a 2.3-mile hike to the cabin (stream ford required at low water). A mooring buoy is located in Short Bay.
