About Barnes Lake Cabin

Barnes Lake Cabin allows for a true outdoor adventure on Prince of Wales Island in southeastern Alaska.

The site can be accessed by float plane, boat or kayak, depending on conditions. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own supplies. The location is prime for anglers, as summer runs for coho (silver) and pink (humpy) salmon occur in the coastal waters. The nearby ocean also offers a chance for crabbing throughout the warmer months. Hunters can take advantage of a long hunting season in the surrounding national forest.
