About Italio River Cabin

Italio River Cabin is situated on the west bank of Hooligan Creek about half a mile from the Old Italio River and the Gulf of Alaska. This remote retreat is open year-round and makes an ideal base for fishing or hunting trips. The site can be accessed by wheeled plane, depending on conditions. The nearby airstrip is on tidal flats, making it prone to flooding and debris. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Very nice cabin for about 5 people. Stove is adequate for the premises. It burns about 5 gal every two days! The runway is usually underwater in the fall, so don’t plan it being available. There are moose, wolves and bears in the area, so be vigilant on your hikes. These cabins are treasures to Alaska, so please take care of them and leave them in clean condition upon your departure.
