Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge Cabins

We hiked upstream about 1 mi and located a small waterfall. We also used a pack raft to explore the lake. With the pack raft we went through the short stream of the outlet into another lake. We crossed this lake, went through the short stream connecting another small lake. At the stream flowing out of this lake we pulled the pack raft to the shore and could hear another waterfall. We hiked a couple hundred yards and there it was.
Since the small streams connecting the lakes didn't have salmon in them we suspected the lower falls were blocking the salmon from making it upstream.

Very nice accommodations.
With salmon in the water, be very bear-aware of your surroundings around the cabin and the top end of the lake. Respect the wildlife and give them plenty of room.
Great escape location to get away from technology and take in the environment.

Great cabin. Had a brand new oil drip stove that worked great. Had plenty of space to put gear food and all your other miscellaneous stuff. Had a cribbage board that helped pass the time when the weather was rough.

Cabin would be warmer if the open ceiling was closed off.

Meat shed gets too warm.

Bunks need pads.

Fuel oil drum for stove needs some way to know what the level of fuel is.

Would be nice to be able to contact people who are there just before you to ask questions about what is needed at the cabin.

Great base camp. Lots of room. Good views and good location. Look forward to making more memories there.

I know the cabin and location well from multiple uses over the years. This year it wasn't great because of the FILTH of the cabin and cache. We cleaned and disinfected for hours and dealt with an abundance of garbage from previous users.
