Fure's Cabin

Fure's Cabin offers a rare opportunity to step back into Alaska's history within the breathtaking landscape of Katmai National Park and Preserve. Originally constructed in 1926 by local legend Roy Fure, this beautifully crafted one-room log cabin sits on the north side of the Bay of Islands on Naknek Lake. Accessible only by floatplane or boat, the site provides a remote, authentic wilderness experience far from the bustle of modern life.

The surroundings are defined by rugged terrain and the serene waters of the lake, making it an ideal destination for those seeking solitude and connection with nature. As a primitive USFS-managed site, facilities are basic, featuring vault toilets, fire rings, and available firewood. The cabin itself serves as a unique shelter for hikers, kayakers, and canoers exploring the vast Alaskan backcountry.

This location is best suited for experienced outdoor enthusiasts, backpackers, and adventurers looking for a rustic, off-the-grid retreat. Because it is a remote, primitive site with no hookups, it is not recommended for traditional RV travelers. Whether you are looking to immerse yourself in the history of a pioneer trapper or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of the Katmai wilderness, Fure's Cabin provides an unforgettable year-round basecamp.
