Barnes Lake Cabin

Barnes Lake Cabin offers a quintessential Alaskan wilderness experience, tucked away on the serene western shore of Barnes Lake on Prince of Wales Island. This remote, primitive destination is perfect for those seeking solitude and a genuine connection with nature. Surrounded by the rugged beauty of southeastern Alaska, the site serves as an ideal basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the local landscape.

Because this is a primitive USFS site, visitors should come fully prepared for self-sufficient travel. The cabin provides a rustic shelter, and the site includes basic amenities like vault toilets and available firewood to assist with your stay. Access is an adventure in itself, typically requiring arrival by float plane, boat, or kayak, depending on the season and local conditions.

This location is best suited for adventurous travelers, anglers, and hunters who are comfortable managing their own logistics and safety in a remote environment. Whether you are looking to spend your days crabbing, fishing, or simply observing the diverse wildlife of the region, Barnes Lake Cabin provides a unique, year-round retreat into the heart of the Alaskan backcountry.
