The West Swan Lake Cabin offers a clean and updated retreat with available firewood for guests. However, some amenities, like the boat's oars and locks, are in poor condition, making boating difficult. Access to the cabin can be challenging due to a lack of clear paths and directions.

Cabin was updated since I was there last. It was clean (thank you previous campers). Firewood was available to cut and split. However, the oars and oar locks were in poor condition. Very difficult to use the boat.

The cabin is in a beautiful setting and well maintained. We appreciated the wood shed and wood box and some wood already cut. Enjoyed eagles, beaver, bear and otter sightings. Down side of West Swan Lake is that it is very difficult to hike from the cabin. The mountains are very steep, bush is dense and there are no trails other than rough game trails.
If you just want to relax and get away from it all this is the perfect place!

Access is via floatplane (30 minutes from Moose Pass, 15 minutes from Cooper Landing). For winter travel, the cabin is 2 mi northwest of the Resurrection Pass Trail alongside Swan Lake. In fall, winter and early spring, the cabin may be inaccessible due to frozen lake surface (floatplanes cannot land). Please contact the Seward Ranger District office for information prior to making reservations during these periods.
Winter travelers need to be able to evaluate avalanche and over-ice travel conditions. For more current travel conditions call the district office. The trail is closed to horse/pack stock from April 1 to June 30, and is open to over-snow motorized vehicles from Dec. 1 to April 30 every other winter season, beginning with the winter of 2007-2008. It is closed to motorized vehicles every other winter season beginning with the 2008-2009 winter season.
