West Swan Lake Cabin

Book Cabin | Additional Cabin Information

West Swan Lake Cabin is in a very remote area on the Kenai Peninsula of south-central Alaska. Swan Lake is just steps away from the cabin, with great fishing and boating opportunities. The beach is well protected for tying up the airplane. Take offs from this lake can be difficult due to the steep sides and narrow nature of the lake. There is no trail access to this cabin. Cross country travel in this area is very difficult. This cabin is reachable only by float plane during the ice free seasons, and can be reached by snowmobile, hiking or skiing when the lake is frozen and travel is safe. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities. When booking make sure to refer to this cabin as West Swan Lake Cabin as to not confuse it with the other Swan Lake Cabins.
