This site has been made for pilots and non-pilot outdoor adventurers looking to enjoy the public use cabin system, which is a unique treasure in Alaska. If we do not use the cabins we will lose them!
There are two identical cabins in this area run by the state park system, Vitus and Mid Timber. Mid Timber is the easier cabin to get to since there is a glacier filling up the lake with icebergs.
Facilities:
Sleeps 8 (maximum 8) with maximum stay of 7 consecutive nights per month. This cabin is on the northwest shore of Midtimber Lake. Interior furnishings include a table and benches. There is a counter and shelf space for food preparation. A cooking area is located outside on the porch as well. Additionally, the cabins have an outside bench, pit latrine, and bear-proof food storage box nearby. The cabin heat source is an oil stove. Please use Number One fuel oil or kerosene. Trails connect the cabins, the coast and a natural landing strip near a USGS research camp. The trail from the beach along the Gulf Coast to the landing strip is 7.3 miles.
