Eight Fathom Cabin

There is no road maintenance done, which inhibited us from being able to get from our boat to the cabin. We also were not able to go to the hot tubs which are our primary reason for going to this cabin.

The cabin is at a beautiful location at the end of the inlet with a salmon creek next door. We were Kayaking over from Tenakee and would highly recommend anyone doing the Hoonah-Tenakee route or vice-versa check the tides and get to the portage an hour before high tide (we went right as a 17 ft high was starting to go out and we really had to chase the tide- it moved so fast). The portage has a lot of big downed trees right now and its a bit of a slog, so have your dry suits on, have your gear ready to be packed, and be prepared to have to haul your kayaks over some big logs and be bear-safe. The cabin was clean with wood available for use when we got there- what a dream. We split what was left of the wood for the next folks before we left and swept up. Would love to visit this one again!
