About This Location

Experience the rugged beauty of the Yakutat Forelands at the Alsek River Cabin, a year-round remote retreat perfect for adventurers and hunters.

The Alsek River Cabin offers a truly remote wilderness experience nestled within the vast Yakutat Forelands. Located just a mile from the glacial-fed Alsek River, this site provides a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in one of Alaska's most dramatic landscapes. Surrounded by rugged terrain and iconic glacial scenery, the cabin serves as a peaceful basecamp for those looking to explore the wild interior of the region.

This federal site is designed for the self-sufficient traveler, offering a rustic experience with picnic tables provided on-site. As a remote destination, access is typically limited to wheeled aircraft, with an airstrip located directly adjacent to the cabin. Guests should be prepared to bring all necessary supplies and manage their own safety, as the area remains wild and largely undeveloped.

This destination is best suited for experienced outdoor enthusiasts, backcountry adventurers, and hunters seeking a quiet, secluded getaway. Whether you are looking to take advantage of the local moose hunting opportunities or simply wish to disconnect in a stunning alpine setting, the Alsek River Cabin provides an authentic Alaskan experience year-round.
