About This Location

Experience true Alaskan wilderness at Devils Elbow Cabin. This remote, year-round USFS cabin offers prime fishing and wildlife viewing in Southeast Alaska.

Devils Elbow Cabin offers a unique, remote wilderness experience in the heart of Southeastern Alaska. Set back from the coastal waters, this primitive site is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in nature. Whether you are interested in fishing, hunting, or observing the local wildlife, the surrounding terrain provides a rugged and scenic backdrop that is particularly popular among rockhounds and geology hobbyists.

Access to this location is an adventure in itself, as the cabin is reachable only by boat or float plane. Visitors should be mindful of the tides, as those arriving by boat during low tide must be prepared for a half-mile hike to reach the cabin. The site maintains a primitive experience level, providing basic shelter in a stunning coastal setting. On-site amenities are kept simple, featuring access to vault toilets and prime fishing spots.

This destination is best suited for experienced adventurers and those seeking solitude far from the beaten path.
