This shelter was destroyed by a windstorm in the fall of 2010. This shelter will be out of commission until further notice. ACTIVITIES Fire Lookouts/cabins Overnight
The shelter is located in the Misty Fiords National Monument Wilderness, approximately 28 air miles northeast of Ketchikan on Revillagigedo Island. Accessible by float plane or boat. Refer to: USGS map Ketchikan C-4.
It's a beautiful trail at the north end of the Tongass Hwy. You hear the sound of water throughout the trail and it has some waterfalls to enjoy.
A beautiful combination of costal and riverine environments, very much worth exploring!
Straightforward trail for the first 2 miles, but the trail can quickly become treacherous and muddy/boggy. Be sure to bring a sturdy pair of waterproof hiking boots and/or Xtratufs. Very challenging and endurance building hike. There’s a nice waterfall towards the end before the lake, but it honestly isn’t worth all the trouble of hiking in. Be safe!
