Freds Creek Cabin

Loads of wildlife and plenty of dry wood for the stove in the cabin. Thank you Forest Service! I got dropped off and stayed for 4 nights solo with a kayak and had a blast exploring the land and paddling through the nearby tide pools. Lots of brown bears this time of year, as to be expected, with all of the pink salmon in the creek. There were also surf smelt, seals, eagles, gulls, cormorants, ermine and even a few deer on the beach over. I also found lots of ripe red huckleberries, blueberries, beach asparagus and some edible mushrooms. A truly splendid trip topped off with amazing weather both on and off the water!

Our favorite cabin! We lucked out with the weather. Young bear fished in the creek and was fun to watch. Great trip!

Great wx, adequate wood supply, stove worked well. Great beach, Creek was fun!

We love this cabin! The creek next to it always flourishes with wildlife. The trailhead to edgecumbe is right behind and the fire wood is stocked well and there is lots of beach combing to be done.

Beautiful Shelter from the storm!
We kayaked to the cabin taking 2 days to get there, sticking to the shoreline and exploring areas along the way. We paddled a total of 18 mi to get there, about 6 hours in a tandem kayak, it was my wife's first time sea kayaking. Everything was great until we got to Inner Point, from there to Fred's creek the waves got big and my wife got pretty scared. There was a big storm that was rolling in and we made it to the cabin just in time. For the next 2 days it dumped rain on us. There was firewood left in the cabin and plenty more in the wood shed.

We were planning on hiking Mt Edgecumb but the rain never let up. So we stayed in the cabin and listened to audio books and enjoyed each other's company. There are no pads/mattresses in the cabin just wooden platforms. We had our backpacking gear so it was just fine. The only thing that would have made it more enjoyable would be a couple nice chairs to relax by the fire.

Lots of pink salmon running up the river, no signs of bears. Saw one deer, and lots of seals and sea otters. We filtered water from Fred's Creek, this seemed to clog up the filter pretty quickly and all the water we found around Sitka had a copper color to it even after filtering.

Loved our stay and would definitely be back.

There is plenty of wood!
If you would like to cross the creek, hip waders are recommended, makes it a lot easier!
Enjoyed our stay so much. Very peaceful and plenty of places to hike and walk along the beaches!
ENJOY!

Great cabin, great place, and lots of firewood and starter.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. Returned after 14 years to enjoy the quiet peaceful atmosphere at Freds Creek. The couple of bears kept their distance, as did we, when they were looking for dinner. Enjoyed a wild evening of rain and the creek rose considerably. Seals stayed at the mouth for salmon. Whales the next day were off in the distance spouting and a couple of breaches. Thank you for making this cabin and all the other available to the public. A job well done, Alaska!!!

Really cool spot.
Full att service on the beach in front of the cabin.
Would live here.

CouldN'T make it to the site, too dangerous to get there. Submitted a request refund which was denied. Totally unacceptable. Your policies on refunding need revisiting....they are not taking into account safety.
