About This Location

Experience remote Alaskan wilderness at Salmon Bay Lake Cabin. This unique USFS site in the Tongass National Forest offers fishing, hiking, and cabin rentals.

Salmon Bay Lake Cabin offers a truly unique Alaskan lodging experience tucked away on the northern end of Prince of Wales Island. Set within the lush, rugged expanse of the Tongass National Forest, this remote site provides a serene escape for those seeking to immerse themselves in the pristine beauty of the Alaskan wilderness. The terrain is characteristic of the region, sitting at a low elevation of 100 feet, where the forest meets the water in a dramatic and scenic display.

This federal campground is best suited for adventurous travelers who are well-prepared for self-sufficient camping. Because access is limited to float plane or a boat and hike combination during high tide, visitors must be capable of managing their own travel arrangements and safety. The site provides basic cabin accommodations and offers convenient access to local fishing spots and nearby hiking trails for outdoor exploration.

While the site is open year-round, visitors should be prepared to bring their own supplies as amenities are limited. Firewood is available for guest use, but travelers should arrive fully equipped for the remote conditions. This destination is ideal for those who value solitude and a raw, authentic connection to nature over modern conveniences.
