About This Location

Experience true Alaskan wilderness at Marten Lake Cabin. This remote, backcountry cabin is accessible only by floatplane and offers incredible fishing.

Marten Lake Cabin offers a rare, immersive backcountry experience in the heart of the Alaskan wilderness. Located on the north side of Marten Lake, this site is perched above the breathtaking Blake Channel and Bradfield Canal. Accessible exclusively by floatplane, the cabin serves as a secluded sanctuary for those looking to escape the modern world and connect with the raw beauty of the Tongass National Forest region.

The terrain surrounding the cabin is rugged and remote, perfect for visitors seeking a true backcountry adventure. Anglers will find the area particularly appealing, as the lake is well-known for excellent cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden fishing. Because this is a primitive federal site managed by the USFS, guests must be self-sufficient and prepared for the wilderness, as there are no utility hookups available.

This location is ideal for experienced outdoor enthusiasts, backcountry campers, and those comfortable with remote travel logistics. Visitors are responsible for their own transportation arrangements and safety, and should come prepared with all necessary supplies for their stay. Whether you are looking for a quiet fishing retreat or a basecamp for exploration, Marten Lake provides an unforgettable Alaskan experience.
