Eagle Beach State Recreation area is located at mile 28 on the Glacier Highway in Juneau. Summer recreation includes hiking, picnicking, berry picking, wildlife viewing, and photography. In the winter, the campground road is not plowed and the campground gate is locked (no vehicle access) from September 15 to the following spring (dependent on snow, but around May 1). If snow conditions allow bring a sled for transporting heavy gear. Winter recreation includes skiing, snowshoeing, photography, wildlife viewing and peace and quiet.

The average temperatures in this area are 55° to 70° F during the spring and summer. High humidity and a high average rainfall make for a wet environment. Bring appropriate clothing and come prepared for unpredictable changes in weather. Winter snow conditions vary from wet and snowy to cold and clear. Average temperatures are in the 20's with extremes in the single digits.

The cabin is equipped with wooden sleeping platforms and primary heat is provided by a kerosene stove*.

Location:
The cabin is on the campground road approximately 1/2 mile from the parking lot. Go past the Berry Patch Cabin on the campground road and continue along the back loop. No car access in winter; ski, hike or snow shoe from parking lot.
