Aspen Flats Cabin (Chugach National Forest, AK)

Went up there for 2 nights in August with a friend. After hicking under pouring rain for hours we discovered this well maintained, , very clean cabin with firewood already available. We spent the next day hicking and fishing in the creek, it was a perfect place. Lot of bear tracks but didn’t See one. Thanks to the rangers and other hikers taking care of the place!

On the river. Peaceful. Waterfowl. Sunny. Firewood. Outhouse. Loved it.

The cabin was so well kept and had amazing views. It was nice being able to relax on my hike.

I wish recreation.gov would show better pictures of the area...I wouldn't have packed a fly rod if I knew the river banks were so brushy

Build a raft👍

I stayed at Aspen Flats for 4 nights. A lot of work has been done to the cabin lately. The windows/screens have been upgraded. There's been painting/varnishing and a bench. There are 2 saws and 2 axes. Everything was great, the cabin was much nicer than I expected. It's quite secluded and right on the river. What a great experience.

Excellent cabin. The trial to the cabin was marked but the signage along the trail was pretty beaten up and hard to read at times and the trail was very overgrown. We could not find the saw at the cabin but there was a maul to split wood. Very beautiful and peaceful spot!

Excellent cabin, great location, and this time, perfect weather. I love this cabin so much. I can't wait to go back.

Fantastic secluded cabin next to the river!
Even butterflies!

However it can not be seen from the main trail and is a little hike down from the trail with only 1 run down hard to read sign pointing to the turn off so if you miss it you’ll be hiking another 3 mi to the next cabin before you realize.

Absolutely loved this cabin. Great location, newer cabin, windows open and have screens to keep the bugs out. River running by was good for dogs to play, wildlife coming by, ease of getting water. Clean, well-kept, comfortable. No chairs on the deck and just 1 small bench so bring a chair if you want more comfy seating. The area around the cabin is generally open so you can be less concerned a bear might sneak up on you. Lots of spawned-out salmon in the river this time of year. I would visit this cabin again!
