About

Turner Lake East Cabin sits on the bank of Turner Lake in Alaska's Tongass National Forest, surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery with numerous waterfalls and hanging glaciers. The cabin occupies relatively flat, brushy terrain with a small sandy beach in front. This area is home to bears and mountain goats, and various waterfowl frequent the lake. The 14x16 foot Pan Abode style cabin accommodates up to six guests with two single and two double wooden bunks. Amenities include an oil stove with tank for heating, table and benches, cooking counter, food cupboards and shelves, cooler, broom and dustpan, and an outhouse. A skiff with oars is provided for lake exploration; guests may bring an outboard motor. Water is available from the lake or nearby stream but must be treated before use. Guests must bring their own heating fuel (#1 stove oil, approximately 1 gallon per day on low setting), sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cooking stove, lantern, cookware, food, toilet paper, garbage bags, fire extinguisher, fire starter, and personal flotation devices. A campfire ring outside the cabin allows for outdoor fires using dead and down wood only.
