Kenai National Wildlife Refuge Cabins

Hiked halfway to the cabin and found that a big portion of the trail (as far as could be seen) was flooded- no one from the USFS had told us even after we discussed the trail twice with them. Had to turn back. Very disappointing. What a shame. People should contact the USFS Regional Office to encourage funding for this trail. Its the only trail in the area for the public to access this part of the refuge.

Nice and clean! A good Alumacraft boat was at the shore but we didn't use it. 2 good wooden platform bunkbeds to sleep on. Beautiful lake views to wake up to

Cabin was clean and well taken care of. We stocked the wood for the next person and sharpened the splitting maul and axe. Very nice cabin with a good view. We will visit again when the weather is a little more hospitable.

Lake was too low for our boat and weather was bad so we did not go.

Cabin was nice. We went from the trailhead to the cabin in our canoe. It was SO windy that we had trouble keeping the canoe moving forward. On our full day at the cabin we didn't take the canoe into the lake because there were white caps and 2-foot waves crashing on the shore. Apparently, the heavy wind is a normal occurrence. There were lots of entries in the cabin log book about seriously windy days, and even capsizing watercraft. If we were to go again, we'd walking to the cabin on the 1-mile trail. If it isn't windy, and you want to go out on the lake, there is a rowboat at the cabin. If it is windy, there are alternatives to being on the water. We went hiking on the Seven Lakes Trail instead.
