This program allows Alaska residents to stake a parcel of state land in a designated RRCS Staking area, lease the land until DNR completes the survey and appraisal, and then purchase the land at appraised market value. Before accepting applications to the Remote Recreational Cabin Sites (RRCS) staking program, DNR identifies areas that will be opened for staking. This year, 2 areas are being offered: East Fork Pass II, approximately 40 miles east of Nome along the Nome-Council Road and Aniak-Doestock II, approximately 5 miles east of Aniak, near the Confluence of Doestock Creek and the Aniak River, in the vicinity of the lower Kuskokwim River. In order to purchase a parcel in this program, you must apply in the drawing, win a staking authorization, stake a parcel on the ground, submit a lease application, enter a 3-year lease, make lease payments (while the parcel is surveyed and appraised), and at the end of the lease you may purchase the parcel. Before applying, please read the information and brochure in its entirety, to see if you qualify, and to make sure that this is the right program for you. Only current Alaska residents are eligible to participate in the Remote Recreational Cabin Sites Staking Program.
