Big John Bay Cabin
The Big John Bay single level hunter style cabin has an oil heater (#1 stove oil only), 4 single bunks, wooden table and benches, counter, pit-type outhouse, and covered porch. Stove oil, bedding, and cooking utensils are not provided. The cabin is on a small wooded point that faces a large expanse of tidal grass and saltwater flats.
General Information
The cabin can be accessed by boat or trail from the town of Kake, or by float plane from Petersburg. A 15-foot tide is required for boats or float planes to directly access the cabin. A 1-mile hike across mudflats is warranted at lower tides. Part of the trail crosses a tide flat, so there is no trail access during high tide.
