On the east shore of Salmon Lake, 11 miles southeast of Sitka. Access by floatplane or boat to the head of Silver Bay followed by a two-mile hike on the Salmon–Redoubt Lake Trail. Rustic 15-by-17-foot cabin with wood stove, bunks, table, small deck and skiff with oars. Sleeps six; $50 per night. Bring life jackets. This is the Baranof Island cabin, not another Salmon Lake facility. Rustic bunks have no bedding; bring sleeping gear, cooking supplies and drinking water or a treatment system. Reserve through Recreation.gov and arrange transport separately. Weather can delay remote travel; allow a buffer. Confirm any maintenance closures with Sitka Ranger District before departure.
