About This Location

Experience true Alaskan wilderness at Shelikof Cabin, a remote USFS site on Kruzof Island offering beachside views, hiking, and year-round adventure.

Shelikof Cabin offers a rugged and unforgettable Alaskan getaway situated directly on the sandy shores of Shelikof Bay. Nestled on the west coast of Kruzof Island, this remote site provides a front-row seat to the raw beauty of the Pacific coastline. Built in 1991, the cabin serves as a serene sanctuary for those looking to escape the bustle of modern life and immerse themselves in the quiet solitude of the Tongass National Forest.

The terrain surrounding the cabin is defined by its coastal location and proximity to dense forest trails, making it a premier destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. While the site is primitive and lacks utility hookups, it provides essential access to some of the region's best fishing and coastal exploration. Whether you are arriving by boat via Mud Bay or flying in by plane, the journey to the cabin is an adventure in itself.

This site is best suited for experienced backcountry travelers and those prepared for remote conditions. Because access requires either a 7-mile hike from Mud Bay or specialized air travel, it is ideal for individuals or small groups seeking a challenging, self-sufficient wilderness experience rather than traditional RV camping.
