Drive Forest Highway 10 about 11.5 miles, turn left on East Gate Road for 3.5 miles, then take the only left turn and drive 3 miles to the trailhead at the road end. The 3.1-mile trail crosses muskeg and old-growth forest, with the wettest sections recently upgraded, to the Forest Service cabin on Situk Lake. Good fishing; on clear days Mount Saint Elias is visible from the lake. This trail is in prime moose and bear habitat.
