About This Location

Escape to the remote Bakewell Lake Cabin within the Misty Fjords National Monument. This year-round wilderness retreat offers serene beach access and adventure.

Nestled within the breathtaking landscape of the Misty Fjords National Monument Wilderness, Bakewell Lake Cabin offers a truly remote escape on the Alaskan mainland. Situated near the Bakewell Arm of Smeaton Bay at an elevation of 178 feet, this site provides a unique, off-the-grid experience surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Alaskan wilderness. It is an ideal sanctuary for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in nature, whether you are interested in sightseeing or simply relaxing on the quiet shores of the lake.

The cabin serves as a rustic basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts and families alike. While the site is primitive and does not offer utility hookups, it provides essential amenities including firewood for cozy evenings and immediate access to scenic hiking trails. Because the cabin is accessible only by float plane or a combination of boating into Smeaton Bay followed by a two-mile canoe or kayak journey, it is best suited for adventurous travelers who are prepared for self-sufficient, backcountry travel.

Operating year-round, this site is perfect for visitors seeking a moderate level of outdoor engagement in a pristine, untouched environment. Please plan your journey carefully, as the isolated nature of the Misty Fjords requires careful preparation for travel and supplies.
