What Guests Are Saying
Shrode Lake Cabin is located in a stunning and rugged area, making it an amazing destination for nature lovers. Guests enjoyed a great week, utilizing the well-functioning stove and packraft for exploration, while experiencing excellent fishing and diverse wildlife sightings, including Bald eagles and seals. A minor issue with the rowboat's leak was noted, but it did not detract from the overall positive experience.

The heater did not seem to put out much heat...
But, even with that the experience was amazing.
Access description could do a better job in describing how to find the trailhead on the Long Bay side. Also, the sign was not visible from the water and the trail name portion was broken off.

This cabin is not accessible via the road system. Access by float plane is 45 minutes from Anchorage and 55 minutes from Cordova. By boat the trip is 25 miles from Whittier into Long Bay, then an additional one-mile hike on a trail to reach the lake. The trailhead at Long Bay is very tidal dependent and best accessed at a high tide with a small boat. Please consult the Whittier tide book or local water taxi for information. The cabin can also be accessed from the Three Fingers Trail (two mile hike to cabin) but does require a substantial river crossing (Shrode River) to access the cabin.
Boats may anchor in Long Bay. It's advised that only small, shallow-draft vessels proceed during high tide as far as the lagoon at the head of Long Bay (trailhead). Numerous rock hazards are in the channel and lagoon. Boats are not provided by the Forest Service.
In fall, winter, spring and early summer, the cabin may be inaccessible by float plane due to frozen lake surface. Ice has been observed on Shrode Lake as late as July. Contact local air taxi services in Anchorage and Cordova or the Glacier Ranger District office (907) 783-3242 for information prior to making reservations during these periods.
