About
Sarkar Lake Cabin offers guests a unique wilderness lodging experience on Prince of Wales Island in southeastern Alaska. The 12x12 foot pan-abode style cedar log cabin sits on the shore of Sarkar Lake, surrounded by temperate rainforest of old-growth trees towering over muskeg openings, lakes and streams. The cabin sleeps up to six people on wooden bunkbeds and is equipped with a wood stove for heat, table, benches, cooking counter, and basic tools. The cabin serves as an ideal base for exploring the Sarkar Lakes Canoe Route, a 16-mile backcountry journey connecting seven lakes with three miles of portage. Anglers will find excellent fishing opportunities for trout and various salmon species, with sockeye salmon running through Sarkar Rapids each July. The area attracts black bears, harbor seals, and a wide variety of waterfowl including trumpeter swans in fall and spring. Sitka black-tailed deer and bald eagles are frequently spotted. Access requires either a 40-mile drive from Craig on Forest Road 20 followed by a 2-mile boat journey (skiff provided at boat launch), or floatplane service from Ketchikan (76 air miles) or Thorne Bay (53 miles). The boat route winds through islands and can be challenging to navigate without a detailed map. Float plane access may be limited during fall, winter, and early spring when the lake surface freezes. A developed boat launch area with parking and vault toilet is available at the trailhead.
Directions
From Craig, head north on State Highway 929 to Control Lake Junction. Travel Forest Service Road 20 for 40 miles to Sarkar Lake boat launch. The cabin is approximately 2 miles from the parking area by boat (skiff provided, bring your own long shaft motor). The route winds around several islands; a detailed map is essential. Also accessible by floatplane, 76 air miles from Ketchikan or 53 miles from Thorne Bay. Refer to USGS map Craig D-4.
