Where are the Forest Service recreation cabins and how can I rent one?
There are about 150 cabins spread all over the Tongass in several different settings. Some are on beaches, lakes, rivers or in alpine meadows. None are accessible by road, but can be reached by trail, boat or small airplane. They are rustic and offer solitude, beautiful scenery, sometimes great fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing. Learn about them at any Forest Service office or visitor center (or check them out under Recreation in these pages). Once you know which cabin you want, you can rent it by calling toll free 877-444-6777 (from outside the US, 518-885-3639).
