Shakes Slough 1 Cabin

Shakes Slough 1 Cabin offers a truly unique Alaskan wilderness experience, serving as an ideal basecamp for those looking to explore the majestic Stikine River. Situated at the confluence of the river and Shakes Slough, the cabin provides guests with breathtaking, panoramic views of the surrounding Stikine-LeConte Wilderness. This remote federal site is best suited for adventurous travelers who are comfortable with wilderness navigation, as access is limited to float plane or shallow draft boat, requiring careful attention to tides.

The terrain is defined by the wild, untamed beauty of the Alaskan interior, sitting at an elevation of 64 feet. While the site remains open year-round, visitors should be prepared for rustic conditions. As a remote USFS cabin, the facility is primitive with no utility hookups, emphasizing a true back-to-basics experience. Hiking trails are available for those wishing to explore the immediate landscape surrounding the cabin.

This location is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking solitude in a rugged environment. Whether you are an avid angler or a wilderness photographer, the cabin offers an unmatched connection to the pristine Alaskan outdoors. Please note that access requires navigating the Stikine River tide flats, which typically demands a tide of at least 14 feet.
