Description

Click here for more cabin information and maps

Cabin is a 12' X 12' precut cedar log cabin equipped with wooden bunks (sleeping space for 4-6 people), table, benches, oil stove for heat (you must provide your own #1 diesel fuel or kerosene), and an outside toilet. Please remember to take your fuel container with you when you leave. It does not have mattresses or cooking utensils. Cabin users should bring their own stove fuel, sleeping bags, pads, cook stoves, matches, cooking gear, food, lantern, toilet paper, and garbage bags. A boat with oars is usually provided, however snow damage has occurred and has made the boat unusable. The boat is scheduled for replacement. Please contact the Craig Ranger District for up-to-date information (907-826-3271).

Wildflowers bloom in July. This area is famous for its quartz and epidote crystals. There are several private mining claims in the area. Some are active, and others have been idle for some time. Please respect the property rights of private landowners. DO NOT PROSPECT, DIG, OR COLLECT MINERAL SPECIMENS ON THE PRIVATE LAND NEAR JOSEPHINE LAKE.

Alerts and Important Information

Occasionally poor weather can result in extended stays, and cabin users should be prepared for this. In fall, winter, and spring, the cabin will be inaccessible due to frozen lake surface (floatplanes cannot land). Check with air charter company on status of possible frozen lake if reserving in June. Water should be treated or boiled prior to drinking. All garbage and food must be packed out.

Same day reservations are allowed for this cabin. The person holding the reservation for this cabin must be at least 18 years of age, and must be a member of the party using the cabin. There are NO discounts for Golden Age/Access Passports for Alaska cabin rentals. Use of this cabin by a commercial operator, such as an outfitter or guide, is NOT allowed.
Reservations are restricted to a maximum stay of 7 consecutive nights - May 1 - September 30 and a maximum stay of 10 consecutive nights October 1 - April 30. Effective November 17, 2003, reservations for Alaska cabins will be subject to a new policy allowing only one change per reservation. A change in reservation is defined as a modification to the start or end date of the reservation. After one change has been made, if additional changes are desired, the customer must cancel the reservation and at a later time, re-book the new dates. This policy has been established to assure that reservations for cabins are fair and equitable for everyone.
