Swan Lake Cabin Petersburg Campground

This facility is located in an extremely remote and wild area; before making a reservation, become aware of bear, water, and weather safety (including cold)

Recreating in Alaska can present both obvious and hidden dangers; please be aware of your surroundings and be prepared for extended stays due to occasionally poor weather

This is the Swan Lake Cabin near Petersburg, in the Tongass National Forest of southeast Alaska, not the Swan Lake Cabin near the Resurrection Pass Trail on the Chugach National Forest

Poor weather (fog and high winds) can cause travel delays; cabin guests should be prepared with extra food and clothing for a potential extended stay

In fall, winter and early spring, the cabin may be inaccessible due to frozen lake surface (float planes cannot land); contact the Petersburg Ranger District office for information prior to making a reservation during these periods

Firewood at the cabin is supplied only for heating the cabin, it is not for outdoor campfires; collect dead and down wood from the forest for your outdoor campfire

Use of this cabin by a commercial operator, such as an outfitter or guide, is not allowed

All garbage and food must be packed out
