It was a calm, sunny magnificent afternoon for a visit to Virginia Lake! The cabin was clean and organized. There were no mosquitoes which was a bonus! Love being at the cabins - especially since Virginia is only about a 6 minute flight from Wrangell. Thank you, USFS, for creating spaces for great memories.

Virginia Lake and the USFS cabin never disappoint! I have been to the cabin many times, both flying in, and doing the portage/kayak from the salt water. The views are stunning, the water calm and lovely. There are many side creeks on the south shore to explore by kayak. (They would not be accessible with the USFS skiff as they are too shallow!). The cabin is in good shape. They recently added an oil stove beside the existing wood stove. It's a lovely, quiet, peaceful getaway. Looking forward to a winter trip via snowshoes if the lake freezes this winter. Thanks to the USFS for maintaining this cabin and many others! It's a great way to get away and "camp" with the luxuries a cabin provides over tenting.

The overall condition of the cabin is functional. The floor needs to be refinished to prevent rot make cleaning easier. The skiff needs work to repair leaks. While there was wood for the wood stove, be sure to bring 2 splitting wedges and a maul and be prepared for a workout. The rounds are full of knots and have twisted grain. There is a pot to catch water off of the roof for washing dishes. All other water needs to be boiled. Be sure to check if the dock is out. If it is not the cabin is not handicap accessible. The view of the lake is world class. The lake tends to vary in level in response to heavy rain.

Cabin clean, plenty of wood, beautiful setting.
