This cabin is located within the Misty Fiords National
Monument Wilderness. Please Leave
No Trace of your visit. |
| Special features: |
Cabin located about 100 yards (90 m) from the lake shore
beside a spectacular series of cascading waterfalls. If
the falls don't tempt you, then the view of steep granite
walls and snow-capped peaks will. This glaciated valley
is one of a kind and you are in the middle of it. The cabin
is also surrounded by large old-growth spruce, hemlock,
and cedar.
Lake has one other cabin, Beaver
Camp Cabin, on the south arm of the lake.
Excellent fishing for cutthroat, dolly varden, and kokanee
(land-locked salmon). Hunting for Sitka blacktail deer
and black bear. Beaver, mink, and marten are common.
