Swan Lake cabin is our favorite summer cabin. Beautiful scenery, lake fishing, campfire, flat ground to play Bocci Ball and just enough off Resurrection Pass Trail to NOT have the looky loos coming up to the cabin to just see it.
Once in a while you get the treat of watching a float plane land or take off from the West Swan cabin.

This cabin had a beautiful view of the lake with easy accessibility for boating and a morning bath. The trail in from the winter route of the Resurrection trail was terribly overgrown and difficult at the end of an 11 mile day. But the trail out to Juneau lake was excellent.

We were so thankful for a wood stove and a place to get warm after a long day of hiking in the rain/sleet. I was impressed at the tools available to use for firewood.
The swan lake cabin is smaller in size than all the others we saw on the trail, we were cozy, maybe better for getting warm.

Great location with views of Swan Lake and a short path to a small gravel beach w/ a rowboat & canoe. Cabin & outhouse were clean; firewood provided though we didn't need it on a warm June evening; and a few basic supplies left by others. Out group of 3 enjoyed our night at Swan Lake.

Good snow cover and a packed down trail made for easy access. Lake was froze over but did have some overflow. Some open creeks still so be careful if going off trail!

Such a beautiful cabin on a beautiful lake! The canoes were an awesome addition and I love that this cabin's stove has the glass pane for seeing the fire - such a small thing, but a difference I noticed. We saw a family of loons on the lake and salmon! Swan Lake Cabin was my favorite cabin on the trail - we hope to come stay again!

Great little cabin. However, there was no firewood readily available due to it being a no snow machine year. Upon arrival to the cabin we had to fell 2 trees for firewood. Luckily (but unfortunately) there is plenty of spruce beetle kill and a pretty decent axe and saw at the cabin. The stove worked great and got the place very toasty. The creek was accessible for fresh water, yet we often just melted snow. The previous cabin-dwellers kinda left of mess, both inside and outside. We dug out a walkway to the wood storage shed and removed the majority of the trash that was left behind.
