What Guests Are Saying
The Beecher Pass Cabin is a great spot with plenty of activities nearby and a secure anchorage. The cabin is well-insulated, though guests should prepare to split wood and create kindling. Boaters should anchor at least 85 yards from the cabin to avoid grounding at low tide, with kayaking recommended for shore access.

This cabin's strengths are the solid construction, square footage, and front deck. It's also nice to have so many windows to provide natural light. If there is a north wind through the night with your boat anchored out, double check to make sure it is secure.
One thing I'd like is for the Forest Service to replace the rope seal on the wood stove door. Parts of it have worn away and the door lets in a lot of air; one ends up going through more firewood through the stay (which I can't think that the Forest Service wants to have happen). With the door not properly sealing, the damper is ineffective as well.

This was our 3rd year at Beecher Pass Cabin and the sunsets were spectacular. We had one day of high wind that actually produced breaker waves on the beach. Our boat turned sideways and was pinned against the beach preventing us from pushing out to anchor the boat further out. We have never seen wind this severe and we lost a whole day of fishing. The water is usually like glass. It might be wise to anchor out in deeper water and paddle a kayak or canoe in to the beach. Otherwise, it was another awesome experience!

United States
The cabin is accessible only by boat or float plane, at any tide, and is located on the south side of Beecher Pass on the north shore of Woewodski Island. From Petersburg, the cabin is 17 miles by float plane or 20 miles by boat. The boat route from Petersburg is over protected water, but includes one passage where attention to channel markers is essential. The route from Wrangell crosses Sumner Strait, which can be very rough in windy weather. Boats can be anchored anywhere in front of the cabin.
Refer to USGS topographic map Petersburg C4. Maps are available online or by calling the Petersburg Ranger District at (907) 772-3871.
