Located on the Salcha River, this cabin gives you to recreation opportunities on the Salcha and beyond. Popular activities include boating, hiking, fishing, snow machining, night sky viewing, and cross-country skiing. The cabin was constructed by volunteers and State Park staff for your use and enjoyment.
Cabin furnishings include plywood sleeping platforms, a kitchen counter, shelves, table and benches, wood stove, fire extinguisher, and an outdoor latrine. Firewood is not provided and can be hard to find at some cabins, so gather dead and down wood on your way in. Check the firewood box on the side of the cabin. For water, renters need to melt snow in the winter, or use the river. Please be sure to purify the water. During the summer this cabin may not be available.
Please help keep it neat and attractive for those who will use it after your visit.
Location:
Access to the Salcha River Public-Use Cabin is off Mile 323.3 Richardson Highway. Turn on Salcha Way and park just off the Richardson Highway if the road hasn't been plowed. Please do not block access to, or park on Salcha Marine property. After heavy snowfalls it may take a week before the site is plowed. The cabin is located next to the boat launch at the end of the access "exit" road.
