Lake Alexander Cabin

This is a typical Pan Abode cabin with a wood stove and sleeping space for 4 to 6 people. The cabin sits 30' (9 m) above the lake. There is a beach with some exposure to the sun. It has a nice overlook of the lake. Facilities: 2 single wooden bunks, 2 double wooden bunks, broom, axe and maul, wood stove, wood, table and benches, outhouse, cooking counter, skiff with oars. Water is available from the lake. Treat all water before using. Bring your own personal flotation devices, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cooking stove, lantern, pots, pans, plates, utensils, food, toilet paper, garbage bags, fire extinguisher, and fire starter. Cabin users may also choose to bring a small outboard motor (less than 10 horsepower due to wilderness regulations). You are in brown bear country. There is a shelter at the opposite (east) end of the lake. A 2.42 mile (4 km) trail to salt water begins at the shelter. The lake is part of the Cross Admiralty Canoe route.

Firewood is generally stacked in a woodshed near the cabin, but it is not guaranteed.
