SERGIEF ISLAND CABIN

Overview Sergief Island Cabin is located on the northwest side of Sergief Island on the Stikine River delta, and makes an ideal base camp for exploring the surrounding Stikine-LeConte Wilderness. The delta tideflats provide for a different experience from the usual rainforest setting of Southeast Alaska and offer opportunities for paddling, wildlife watching and hunting. The site can only be accessed by a shallow draft boat or float plane, depending on conditions.

The tide must be a minimum of 18 feet in order to access the cabin. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities. Recreation The waters around the cabin are ideal for exploring by kayak or canoe during high tide.

The Forest Service does not provide boats, and guests must also bring their own flotation devices. Tide tables should be consulted before any boating excursion. This cabin is also in a prime location for waterfowl hunting in the fall.
