About
Wolf Lake Shelter Site offers a glimpse into Alaska's outdoor recreation history with its 1941 Civilian Conservation Corps-built three-sided shelter. Situated on the northwest shore of Wolf Lake at the terminus of the 2.6-mile Wolf Lake Trail, this backcountry site provides basic shelter in a remote wilderness setting within the Ketchikan Misty Fjords Ranger District of Tongass National Forest. The shelter is not routinely maintained by the Forest Service and provides only the most basic amenities. Access requires planning and commitment: the trailhead is located in Moser Bay, 15 air miles north of Ketchikan, reachable only by boat or floatplane. The 2.6-mile trail travels through temperate rainforest to reach the shelter at the lake's outlet. This is a true backcountry experience in Southeast Alaska's wilderness. The site sees light usage and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. Visitors should be prepared for bear country, bring all necessary supplies including water, and practice Leave No Trace principles in this remote corner of the Tongass.
Directions
Trailhead located in Moser Bay, 15 air miles north of Ketchikan, accessible only by boat or floatplane. Hike 2.6 miles on Wolf Lake Trail to reach the shelter on the northwest shore of Wolf Lake.
