VerifiedJanuary 8, 2024 • Stayed at: Vogel Lake Cabin, Loop: Kenai National Wildlife Refuge
PLEASE BE CAREFUL on Miller Creek in winters when you come here via snowmachine! Our snow machine fell through the ice on the creek, and we actually thought that we might die out there. After we turned to Miller Creek from the Pipeline Trail, we took the right side of Miller Creek to get to the cabin. However, we believe that we should have taken the left side of the creek (the left side seems to have more firm surfaces between the creek and the treeline) and then cross Vogel Lake to get to the cabin. We learned later that the creek never really freezes. The cabin itself is beautiful and cozy with a nice stove.

Skied out to Nurses on the Pollard horse trail this past weekend. Cabin in good condition, but trail is not good for skiing, pulling sleds, or snowmachining currently - at least 130 downed trees are on the trail, and 3-4+ feet of snow are needed to cover the majority of them. No ice on Tustumena yet near the cabin. The flooded muskeg that flows out of Trail Lake is still thawing during the day into icy slush - need xtra tuffs to get through, and daytime highs below 20 for another week or more for it to freeze up hard.
Took 8.5 hours to ski the 7.2 miles pulling our gear in pulks. Would only recommend attempting by snowshoe with backpacks for quite a while yet.
