About
Softuk Bar Cabin offers a remote wilderness experience in the Chugach National Forest, situated on a wide sandy beach along the Gulf of Alaska. The 12x14-foot rustic structure accommodates up to six guests on wooden bunkbeds without mattresses. The cabin is equipped with wood and oil stoves for heat, a table, axe, splitting maul, saw, and a rainwater catchment barrel. An outdoor pit toilet is available. Access is by wheel plane only, landing on the beach at low tide, typically a 25-minute flight from Cordova. Due to the extreme remoteness, guests should bring 2-5 extra days of supplies in case weather delays departure. No running water, electricity, mattresses, bedding, cooking utensils, cut firewood, or stove oil are provided. Recreation opportunities include beachcombing, razor clam digging, small coho salmon runs in the lagoon, wild strawberry picking, and hunting for bear, moose, and Sitka black-tail deer. The historic townsite of Katalla, site of Alaska's first oil well in 1902, lies about 4 miles east.
Directions
Access by wheel plane only, landing on the beach at low tide. Typically a 25-minute flight from Cordova. Refer to USGS topographic map Cordova A-2 and check local tide tables before planning access.
