About Fure's Cabin

Fure's Cabin, a beautifully constructed one-room house, is a public use cabin in Katmai National Park and Preserve. The cabin is located on the north side of the Bay of Islands in Naknek Lake and accessed by float plane or boat. Now a refuge for kayakers, canoers, and hikers, the cabin was once the home of trapper, miner, and famed Naknek local Roy Fure. The cabin was built in 1926, a labor of love. The roof, walls, and floor are made of hand-hewn spruce logs with dovetail notching reminiscent of European craftsmanship. In 1931 the land on which the cabin stands was incorporated into the expanded Katmai National Monument. Fure's cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Gorgeous views and the most amazing sunset site of any rec.gov cabin we've been at! Easy walk up hill from rocky area boats use to tie up. With a small float plane, we opted to tie off on safer small beach shore down a bit longer trail from cabin. Note, sprinkling of very large submerged rocks at beach site, too. Took a lot of jumping in to maneuver and tie down ropes (100+ ft total tied on multiple angles from plane to trees) to safely secure overnight and slowly taxi in/out loaded. Doable with time and care. Saw resident bear folks have noted in cabin log book. It was walking beach and waterfront shore early morning. Lots of fresh prints. Cabin secure despite 2 broken windows with tape patching. Wood stove worked well to dry out our gear with minimum wood and banked coals overnight well. Note only a small hand saw for cutting more wood. We arrived to virtually none and left more. Old open water jugs at cabin. We filtered our own. Lantern provided was broken. We brought our own solar lantern and flashlights. Wonderful historic wall display, interesting cabin guest journal, deck of cards onsite.
