About This Location

Experience true Alaskan wilderness at the remote Josephine Lake Cabin on Prince of Wales Island, accessible exclusively by float plane for a unique getaway.

Josephine Lake Cabin offers a rare and rugged escape into the heart of Prince of Wales Island. Perched at an elevation of 1,862 feet, this remote site provides a serene backdrop for those looking to immerse themselves in the untouched beauty of southeastern Alaska. The landscape is defined by its pristine alpine setting, offering visitors a quiet sanctuary for wildlife viewing and deep connection with the outdoors.

This federal site is designed for the self-sufficient adventurer, as access is restricted to float plane travel only.

The area is a prime destination for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy fishing and exploring local hiking trails in a secluded environment.

This location is best suited for experienced backcountry campers or those seeking a rustic, off-the-grid lodging experience. Whether you are looking for a basecamp for fishing excursions or a peaceful retreat from civilization, the Josephine Lake Cabin delivers an authentic Alaskan wilderness experience that rewards those willing to make the journey.
