Best Time to Camp at Black Bear Lake Cabin (Tongass National Forest, Ak)
Mother Nature rules supreme at Black Bear Lake, where winter's icy grip holds the lake frozen solid from October through mid-June. Summer arrives like a revelation, transforming the landscape into a vibrant playground perfect for outdoor pursuits. While winter months bring dramatic snowfalls and relentless precipitation, summer rewards patient visitors with crystal-clear days ideal for exploration. Pack layers and rain gear—Alaska's weather writes its own rules here.
Mid‑June to September is ice‑free peak season; ideal for boating, fishing and hiking.
Cabin open into fall but lake may begin freezing in October; scenery remains strong but access shortens.
Cabin reopens May 1; spring thaw transitions to usable season but conditions can be wet and variable.
Lake frozen Oct–mid‑June and cabin availability limited; winter recreation and access are constrained.
Planning Tips
- Peak Season: May 1 - September 30, 2025. Book 2-3 months ahead.
- Operating Season: The cabin is open for reservations from May 1 to December 31, 2025. Access may be limited when the lake is frozen (October to mid-June).
- Current Alerts: None currently noted, but visitors are warned about seasonal access limitations due to lake freezing.
