Lovely spot and just a short hop to Wrangell . Two months of flying my Lake aircraft around cabins of SE Alaska was the experience of a lifetime. thank you.

Stayed two nights, starting Monday, June 20th. Found the cabin in tidy shape, with ample wood inside and ready to split outside, though most of the rounds are knotty and need a splitting wedge; there is a maul and a hatchet, which I made good use of. We did not use the oil stove; it was plenty warm and we slept with the screened windows open. Outhouse was clean, though toilet is nearing full capacity.

We enjoyed the large cabin and rowed out on the lake a bit; I recommend bringing a small outboard to fully enjoy the lake. My wife tried to get to the trailhead of an old mining/prospect trail that is indicated on older USFS maps, but could not make much headway in the undergrowth.

We had the incredible experience of watching a juvenile moose being chased by a juvenile brown bear through the water and along the shore right next to the dock! It all happened in just a few seconds as the bear chased the moose up the hill behind the cabin. A solid reminder to be bear aware when out and about!

It was a calm, sunny magnificent afternoon for a visit to Virginia Lake! The cabin was clean and organized. There were no mosquitoes which was a bonus! Love being at the cabins - especially since Virginia is only about a 6 minute flight from Wrangell. Thank you, USFS, for creating spaces for great memories.

Virginia Lake and the USFS cabin never disappoint! I have been to the cabin many times, both flying in, and doing the portage/kayak from the salt water. The views are stunning, the water calm and lovely. There are many side creeks on the south shore to explore by kayak. (They would not be accessible with the USFS skiff as they are too shallow!). The cabin is in good shape. They recently added an oil stove beside the existing wood stove. It's a lovely, quiet, peaceful getaway. Looking forward to a winter trip via snowshoes if the lake freezes this winter. Thanks to the USFS for maintaining this cabin and many others! It's a great way to get away and "camp" with the luxuries a cabin provides over tenting.

The overall condition of the cabin is functional. The floor needs to be refinished to prevent rot make cleaning easier. The skiff needs work to repair leaks. While there was wood for the wood stove, be sure to bring 2 splitting wedges and a maul and be prepared for a workout. The rounds are full of knots and have twisted grain. There is a pot to catch water off of the roof for washing dishes. All other water needs to be boiled. Be sure to check if the dock is out. If it is not the cabin is not handicap accessible. The view of the lake is world class. The lake tends to vary in level in response to heavy rain.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
