North Beach Cabin

SITKA RANGER DISTRICT, 2108 HALIBUT POINT RD, SITKA, AK, 99835, USA

Driving directionsAccessible year round, weather permitting. Located 20 air miles northwest of Sitka, on the western shore of Kruzof Island. Access by boat, 45 minutes from Sitka to Mud Bay on the east side of Kruzof Island, then 7.5 mile hike or off-highway vehicle ride on old logging roads to a 'T' in road at Iris Meadows. Turn right about 1/8 mile (.2 km), then turn left on road that crosses meadows. After crossing Iris Creek, continue along the road about 1 mile (1.6 km) to off-highway vehicle trail which turns left and continues about 1/4 mile (.4 km) to the cabin.
The site is accessible year-round, but weather conditions must be considered. Primary access is via boat, helicopter, or off-highway vehicles. The old logging roads can be challenging, particularly in adverse weather.

Best Time to Camp at North Beach Cabin

Mother Nature rules supreme at North Beach, where weather transforms from gentle mist to dramatic downpours with little warning. During autumn visits, expect nature's full symphony—heavy rains drumming on the cabin roof, temperatures hovering between a crisp 48°F and mild 54°F, and winds gusting up to 28 mph that send waves crashing against the shore. Pack your rain gear and embrace the elements; this is Alaska at its most authentic, where weather becomes part of the adventure rather than an obstacle.
