Avoss Lake Cabin

Avoss Lake Cabin offers a rare opportunity for immersion in the rugged beauty of the South Baranof Wilderness. Situated 35 air miles southeast of Sitka, this rustic A-frame cabin serves as an ideal basecamp for adventurous travelers seeking a remote backcountry experience. Surrounded by the dense, untamed landscapes of the Tongass National Forest, the site provides a quiet sanctuary for those looking to photograph the Alaskan wilderness or engage in seasonal hunting.

Access to this secluded destination is exclusively via a 30-minute float plane flight from Sitka, weather permitting. Because the cabin is located within a designated wilderness area, helicopter access is prohibited. Once guests arrive at the lake shore, they must complete the final leg of the journey on foot to reach the cabin. Please note that this is a primitive, federal site managed by the USFS with no utility hookups available.

This site is best suited for experienced backcountry enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers who are comfortable with self-sufficient travel. With its direct fishing access and proximity to local hiking trails, it provides a perfect escape for those who prefer wilderness solitude over traditional campground amenities. Whether you are looking to explore the surrounding forest or simply enjoy the tranquility of a remote mountain lake, Avoss Lake Cabin provides a quintessential Alaskan experience.
