About This Location

Experience true wilderness at Lake Alexander Cabin in the Tongass National Forest. This remote site is perfect for canoeing, fishing, and hiking adventures.

Nestled on the northwest end of Lake Alexander within the pristine Tongass National Forest, this cabin provides a quintessential Alaskan wilderness experience. As part of the famous Admiralty Island Canoe Route, the site is defined by its rugged, remote beauty and tranquil waterfront setting. At an elevation of 330 feet, the surrounding terrain offers a lush, scenic backdrop perfect for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in the quiet of the forest.

The site is designed for the self-reliant adventurer, featuring basic cabin accommodations that serve as a basecamp for outdoor exploration. Visitors can enjoy direct access to excellent fishing, diverse hiking trails, and endless opportunities for wildlife viewing. While the cabin provides shelter, guests must be prepared to bring their own supplies and manage their own travel logistics, as the location is only accessible via floatplane or a combination of paddling and portaging.

This destination is best suited for experienced outdoor enthusiasts, backcountry travelers, and groups seeking a primitive, immersive retreat. Because access is limited to water or air, it is not suitable for traditional RV camping or those requiring modern utility hookups. Whether you are navigating the canoe route or seeking a secluded spot for fishing, Lake Alexander Cabin offers an unforgettable slice of the Alaskan backcountry.
