Tongass National Forest

Overview

Jordan Lake Cabin is located on Revillagigedo Island within the Naha Recreation Area. This peaceful retreat is open year-round, offering opportunities for sightseeing, relaxation and recreation in Alaska's beautiful Inside Passage. The site can be accessed by landing a floatplane at Heckman Lake and hiking 2 miles, or by boating into Naha Bay and hiking 4 miles. The access trail is the Naha River National Recreation Trail, which starts at Naha Bay and ends at Heckman Lake. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Recreation

The Naha River provides opportunities to fish for trout and Dolly Varden. There are also steelhead and salmon runs. Guests have use of the cabin's 14-foot aluminum skiff with oars, but they must provide their own life jackets. A short shaft motor can be used with the skiff, but one is not provided. The Naha River National Recreation Trail is a scenic 6-mile trail that winds downstream along the river through old-growth Sitka spruce and western hemlock rainforest.

Natural Features

The cabin sits on the southwest shore of Jordan Lake, surrounded by a lush rainforest of Sitka spruce and western hemlock. The front deck offers views of the lake and the surrounding mountain peaks. Sitka black-tailed deer, black bear, beaver, marten, otter, mink and wolf are common to this area. Trumpeter swans are frequently seen on the lakes within Naha Recreation Area.

Fee Info

Only one change per reservation for all Alaska cabins is allowed. Change is defined as a modification to the start or end date of the reservation; after one change has been made, if additional changes are desired, the customer must cancel the current reservation and re-book the new dates.

Directions

The cabin is approximately 15 miles from Ketchikan within the Naha Recreation Area. It is on the southwest shore of Jordan Lake along the Naha River National Recreation Trail. Access is either by boating to Naha Bay and hiking 4 miles, or by floatplane to the trail at Heckman Lake and hiking 2 miles to the cabin. Jordan Lake is too small for most floatplanes, but some pilots will land there. In fall, winter and early spring, the cabin may be inaccessible due to frozen lake surface (floatplanes cannot land).
