About
Staney Creek Cabin offers visitors a remote lodging experience on Prince of Wales Island in Alaska's Tongass National Forest. The 12 x 12-foot primitive Pan Abode log cabin is furnished with wooden bunkbeds that sleep 4-6 guests, a table, benches, cooking counter, fire extinguisher, and broom. The cabin features a wood stove and has an outdoor pit toilet, but no running water or electricity. The cabin sits at the mouth of Staney Creek in a grassy tidal meadow, surrounded by a canopy of old-growth spruce, hemlock, and cedar. The stream is excellent for anglers, supporting cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, dolly varden, steelhead, and four species of salmon. Wildlife in the area includes various waterfowl, shore birds, bald eagles, Sitka black-tailed deer, and black bears. Hunters can take advantage of the long hunting seasons, with bear season occurring in spring and fall, and deer season beginning in late summer through late fall. The cabin is accessible by vehicle and a half-mile boardwalk hike from the trailhead on Forest Service Road 2054, by boat, or by float plane. Access by boat or float plane is best at high tide. Winter access can be difficult due to snow and ice conditions. Visitors must bring their own water, food, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cook stove, fuel, fire starter, cooking gear, light source, toilet paper, first aid kit, garbage bags, and bio brick compressed logs or firewood.
