About Middle Ridge Cabin

Middle Ridge Cabin is wheelchair accessible and located on the Wrangell Island road system. The cabin is open year-round and offers opportunities for both summer and winter recreation. It is unique to Tongass National Forest because it is accessible by vehicle in the summer months from the town of Wrangell, and by snowmobile, off-road vehicle or cross-country skis in the winter. When making reservations, please be aware that the timing of spring/summer road access depends on winter snow levels (some years the road to the cabin will have snow until June). Please contact the Wrangell Ranger District for current road condition report. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

January 23, 2020 Stayed at: Middle Ridge Cabin, Loop: MIDDLE RIDGE CABIN

The area is fun and we love going there. I spent a couple hours cleaning the outhouse and cabin upon arrival. The outhouse was filthy and there was mold all over the table in the cabin. Other than that it was a great weekend filled with lots of fun.
The boat launch area is kind of a mud hole and could use some rock to help stabilize the area.

The base logs of the cabin are starting to rot and the outhouse needed to be emptied. The deck of the boat dock has a broken board which one of the kids fell through, luckily no serious injury. Just needs some routine maintenance. But overall it is always an amazing experience staying at our. FS cabins!
