About this campground

Baranof Lake Cabin sits on the southwest edge of a greenish-blue, glacier-fed lake at about 145 feet elevation, with spruce and hemlock forest rising into 3,000-foot ridgelines on either side. The lake runs nearly three miles long and half a mile wide; the cabin faces the mouth of the Baranof River and a waterfall visible across the water, and there is a small sandy beach immediately in front of the cabin.

“This cabin is in a spectacular location with a huge waterfall just over the lake. You may also get some cell service here (sometimes). There is a nice beach to park your floatplane. ”
