This is a true log cabin. It is also the most isolated, secluded cabin in the Nancy Lake recreation system. Located along the canoe loop trail, this cabin is the only building on James Lake. The cabin has bunk beds, a woodstove, an outside picnic table, and an outside fire ring. No planes are allowed on James Lake.
Location:
Summer access is via the canoe trail system. The canoe trail involves crossing several lakes and portages between lakes for about 3-4 miles to reach the cabin and takes approximately 3-4 hours. Winter access is by registered snowmobile, skis, snowshoe, or dog sled using the winter trail. ATVs prohibited. Snowmobile openings announced when there is sufficient snow cover to protect underlying vegetation. This cabin is not reachable during freeze up or break up when the ice is too thin to support weight.
