August 2, 2020 Stayed at: Kelly Lake Cabin, Loop: Kenai National Wildlife Refuge
The Kelly Lake cabin is so fun! A boat, a swing and what feels like a private trail. The cabin and it’s surrounding trees were well protected from last years fire, which is a strange contrast to the destruction all around it. The lake was warm and it was fun rowing around among the loons. Easy to get to, quiet and a great time!

Great time at the cabin, we had a bluebird day and so lots of water sport activity, swimming, boat trip and hiking too. My main complaint is that there are two locks on the front door( only door) and in bear country this is a little unsettling. We did hear a loud noise in the middle of the night and I was worried it might be an animal. Please fix the locks. Thanks. Beautiful cabin otherwise,

Just another example why I love Alaska. Public use cabins are the best.

Loved the cabin. Brought our kids and it was a short enough hike even the 3 year old made it! Hiked in, rowed the boat back to the boat launch, loaded our gear, and hauled it back to the cabin in the row boat. We enjoyed swimming in the lake and kayaking. Beautiful setting. Thanks so much to all the men and women that fought the Swan Lake Fire in the summer of 2019 and saved this little gem!
