This public use cabin is located between milepost 7 and 8 on the Pasagshak Road across the highway from Lake Rose Tead. The cabin is about a mile before the Pasagshak River State Recreation Site day use and camping area at the river mouth.

The cabin has 4 bunks, a loft, and is heated by wood stove. Wood is not provided. A small gravel parking area by the cabin can accommodate about two vehicles. This access and parking area will not be regularly plowed, so snow and ice may limit vehicle access to this site in winter months.

The cabin and outhouse were built to ADA specifications, but the trail to the outhouse wasn't finished to a full ADA grade before ground freeze in 2022. Planning is underway to bring this trail to full ADA in spring of 2023.

The Pasagshak area is popular for hiking, hunting, fishing, surfing, whale watching, birding, photography, kayaking, and camping. The cabin front porch faces Shaft Peak where mountain goats and Sitka black-tailed deer can often be seen in the alpine with binoculars from the cabin porch. The Pasagshak River across the highway from the cabin is usually a great salmon fishing destination from June until October.

The cabin site is part of Pasagshak River State Rec Site but is surrounded by general state lands open to public use. The general state lands surrounding the cabin site are open to public access but are part of a grazing lease. Any gates opened for access, including the gate to access the cabin site, need to be closed immediately to keep the cattle from getting out of their grazing enclosures.
