Castle River Cabin

Fantastic cabin. Outhouse still needs some work but who cares when you're in such a beautiful place with good fishing at the front door. There is no longer an oil stove. We packed 5 gallons of fuel oil only to put it in the castle flats cabin tank. I will return. Thanks

Love this cabin. Only downside is that the “falls” is a popular place for cohos and people that like to go fishing. There was a boat already there when we pulled up to unload our cabin gear and the trail that people use to walk up the falls goes right next to the cabin. So if you’re looking for a very secluded cabin this might not be the one for you. The fishermen didn’t come back the next day so we had the place to ourselves which was wonderful. We hiked the .4 trail to the boat tie off and took the little John boat up the creek about a mile. Didn’t see any moose, deer or bear. There was however a friendly mouse that we failed to catch. Make sure to use the food box outside the cabin to store all your food goods. It was a very clean cabin and thankful for people who leave extra things behind like coffee filters, paper towels, toilet paper for the outhouse, an extra tarp and seasonings. We brought some firewood and left a bit in the woodshed. You’ll want to head in at high tide.

Great location. Skiff above the rapids has a leak. Mice in cabin. Beautiful location. Love the spot. Nice to have steel cage for coolers for protection against bears. Nicely kept up cabin.

The cabin was nice with new table and interior paint (thanks USFS cabin crew), although there was a foul smell coming from underneath the cabin. I imagine it was a dead critter. The scenery as always was beautiful but having been coming to this cabin intermittently for 20 years, the fishing is not what it used to be. Finding transportation via air or boat is becoming more difficult as well.
