About this site
Overview Davidof Lake Cabin is situated in a forested area off Davidof Lake in the Tongass National Forest, approximately 40 air miles southeast of Sitka, Alaska. The A-frame cabin makes a wonderful base for a backcountry experience. The site is remote and can be accessed by float plane only, weather permitting.
Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring their own amenities. Recreation Visitors enjoy picking berries in the surrounding forest, fishing for Dolly Varden from mid-July to September and hunting deer. Some rainbow trout can also be found in the lake.
Landscape and wildlife photography opportunities abound. 2-mile Davidof Lake Trail is located on southwest shore of Davidof Lake and connects to Plotnikof Lake and Cabin. Please note that the trail is not maintained or easy to locate.
For information about fishing and hunting permits and seasons, visit the Alaska Department of Fish and Game website. Facilities The rustic 16 by 16-foot A-frame cabin sleeps eight people and contains a sleeping loft that is reached by climbing a vertical ladder. The main level of the cabin is furnished with two double plywood bunks without mattresses.
A wood stove for heat, an axe or splitting maul, a table and benches, cooking counter, broom and outhouse toilet are provided. Visitors must bring sleeping bags and pads, a cooking stove, pots, pans, plates, utensils, food, toilet paper, a lantern, garbage bags, a fire extinguisher, fire starter, rain gear, boots and PFDs. Water is available from the lake, but must be treated before using.
It's recommended that visitors bring their own water. A heavy, square-bowed skiff (rowboat) with oars is provided. A long-shaft outboard motor in the 2-10 hp range is highly recommended for use with the skiff, but is not provided.
Each person using the skiff should wear a Coast Guard approved personal floating device (PFD).
