Taku Glacier Cabin

Taku Glacier Cabin is open for year-round relaxation and recreation in Alaska's beautiful Inside Passage. The cabin is in a prime location for glacier viewing and wildlife watching, offering access to many recreational activities. The site can be accessed by float plane, motor boat or kayak, depending on conditions. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety and must bring several of their own amenities. Visitors can explore the area in a canoe or kayak in deeper tides ( local tide charts ). The Forest Service does not provide boats or flotation devices. Salmon fishing is possible in Taku Inlet. Hiking is possible, but there are no developed trails around the cabin.
