About
Reflection Lake Cabin sits in a heavily wooded area on the Cleveland Peninsula, approximately 50 air miles from Ketchikan in Tongass National Forest. Built in 1967, this 12' x 14' Pan Abode log cabin offers visitors a remote Alaskan experience with stunning views of steep mountains reaching 5,000 feet with visible ice fields through much of the season. The cabin sleeps up to six people with two single bunks and two double bunks, and includes a wood stove, cooking counter, table, shelving, and basic utensils. Access to this primitive cabin is by float plane landing on Reflection Lake or by boat to Short Bay in northern Behm Canal, followed by a 2.3-mile hike on the Reflection Lake Trail. The trail crosses Short Creek where the bridge is out, requiring hikers to ford the stream during low water only. A 14-foot aluminum skiff with oars is provided at the cabin for rowing on the lake, though visitors must bring their own life jackets and short-shaft motor if desired. Fishing opportunities include steelhead and salmon runs in Short Creek, with resident Dolly Varden and trout in the lake. The surrounding area features rolling muskegs and supports abundant wildlife including Sitka black-tailed deer, black and brown bear, mountain goat, wolf, beaver, marten, mink, and otter. Hunters and anglers should check with Alaska Department of Fish and Game for current regulations. The cabin has no electricity, indoor plumbing, or cell phone coverage, and visitors must pack in all supplies and be prepared for true backcountry conditions.
Directions
Located approximately 50 air miles from Ketchikan on the Cleveland Peninsula. Float plane access to the northeast shore of Reflection Lake. Alternatively, boat to Short Bay mooring buoy in northern Behm Canal, then hike 2.3 miles on Reflection Lake Trail. Bridge is out at Short Creek crossing, requiring stream ford during low water only.
