About
Taku Glacier Cabin is a remote 14 ft. by 16 ft. pan-abode style cabin located 26 miles northeast of Juneau on the east shore of Taku Inlet in the Tongass National Forest. The cabin is fully wheelchair-accessible, featuring ramps between the beach, cabin, and outhouse, and sleeps six people with two single and two double bunks. The cabin includes a table and benches, oil heater, food preparation space, and a large front deck with a picnic table. The cabin is situated on a saltwater beach with old-growth spruce, surrounded by marsh estuary and backed by lightly forested bedrock hillsides with steep canyons and cliffs. It offers spectacular views of Taku Inlet, snow-capped peaks, and both the Taku and Norris Glaciers. The area is home to grizzly and black bears, moose, mountain goats, and nesting eagles. Access is by float plane or shallow draft boat only, requiring tides of at least 12 feet for boat access. High winds often prevent access in Taku Inlet. Guests must bring their own heating oil (#1 diesel or kerosene, approximately one gallon per day), water or water treatment supplies, cooking equipment, sleeping bags, and all other amenities. The area offers opportunities for salmon fishing, kayaking, hiking on undeveloped terrain, and seasonal berry picking and hunting. Helicopter access is prohibited March 1 through August 31 due to eagle nesting.
