Sarkar Lake Cabin

Book Cabin | Additional Cabin Information

This cabin sits on a peninsula in the lake, which makes it difficult to spot from the air. Tom Bass advises to come from the south and that should make it easier to see. Use caution when maneuvering on the lake as there a rocks scattered about the lake. The cabin is standard with a big covered deck that is surrounded and covered by trees.

The cabin is equipped with a table, benches, a wood stove for heat and an outside toilet. Other amenities include a cooking counter, an axe, splitting maul, fire extinguisher and a broom. Firewood may be available, but the supply cannot be guaranteed. The cabin does not have running water or electricity. Guests must bring their own food, water, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cook stove, stove fuel, fire starter, cooking gear/utensils, light source (lantern), toilet paper, first aid kit and garbage bags. Water is available from the lake, but must be filtered, boiled or chemically treated before drinking. An aluminum skiff with oars is available for use at the boat launch. Guests may choose to bring a long shaft motor for boat use, and are responsible for bringing and using their own personal floatation devices.
