Castle River Cabin

Castle River Cabin offers a rare, immersive wilderness experience on the rugged shores of Kupreanof Island. Situated at a low elevation of 46 feet, the site provides a secluded coastal retreat surrounded by the pristine beauty of southeastern Alaska. This is an ideal destination for those seeking solitude and a direct connection to nature, far from the crowds of more accessible campgrounds.

The location serves as a prime base camp for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the local landscape. Guests can enjoy direct access to scenic hiking trails and excellent fishing opportunities right from the doorstep. On-site amenities are rustic, featuring vault toilets and provided fire rings for outdoor cooking and warmth. Firewood is available, though visitors should arrive fully prepared for the backcountry conditions of this remote setting.

Because the cabin is accessible only by boat or float plane from Petersburg or Wrangell, it is best suited for experienced adventurers who are comfortable navigating tidal changes and wilderness travel. The two-mile hike required during low tides makes this site perfect for tent campers and those seeking a rugged, off-the-grid escape. Please note that guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety while enjoying this unique federal site.
