The Serenity Falls Public Use Hut is a multiple party public use hut that is managed on a reservation basis. Sleeps up to 13 guests. Hut is located near Mile 12 of the Lakeside Trail in the Upper Eklutna Lake Valley. It is equipped with wooden sleeping platforms, a wood heating stove, chairs or benches, and cooking area. A pit latrine is nearby. Water is supplied from the nearby creek in the summer or snow in the winter. Please purify all water before using. A fire pit and picnic table are available outdoors. The hut is remote and you should be prepared accordingly.

Location:
The hut is located at Mile 12 of the Eklutna Lakeside Trail. After you have crossed the bridge over the East Fork of the Eklutna River and have passed the Kanchee Campground near Mile 11, you will come to a large steel and wood bridge over the Eklutna River. Do not cross the bridge. Instead of turning right and crossing the bridge, go straight ahead on a trail going uphill. A brown and white sign marks the trail that will take you a few hundred yards to the hut. Only registered guests are allowed motorized vehicles beyond this point per the access information above. Please remember that, for most people, the 24-mile round trip to and from the hut is a long distance. Plan your trip based on the skills and abilities of the least experienced person in your party.
