Salt Chuck East Cabin

Salt Chuck East Cabin offers a remote and authentic Alaskan wilderness experience located on the east side of the Duncan Salt Chuck on Kupreanof Island. This unique destination is accessible only by boat or float plane, making it an ideal escape for those seeking solitude and raw natural beauty. The terrain is rugged and untouched, providing visitors with direct access to exceptional fishing, hunting, and wildlife viewing opportunities in the surrounding forest.

As a primitive federal site managed by the USFS, this location is best suited for experienced outdoorsmen and adventurers who are self-sufficient. The cabin provides a rustic basecamp with basic facilities, including vault toilets and nearby hiking access via the primitive Portage Mountain Loop Trail. Guests must be prepared to manage their own transportation and bring all necessary supplies for their stay.

Whether you are an avid angler or a hiker looking to explore the trails leading toward Portage Bay, this site serves as a gateway to the Alaskan backcountry. Because it is a primitive, off-grid location, it is perfect for those who want to disconnect from modern life and immerse themselves in the quiet, year-round splendor of the Tongass National Forest region.
