Located in the temperate rainforest of Southern Southeast Alaska, the Settlers Cove Public-Use Cabin is nestled in a quiet spot overlooking Clover Passage. It is common to see whale activity from the cabin's front porch and the waters of Clover Passage are a kayaker's haven. Lunch Loop, Lunch Falls and Hollow Cedar trails are located nearby and offer excellent hiking and wildlife viewing opportunities.

A rare feature in the Ketchikan area is the sandy beach found along a section of the park. Salmon runs can be viewed at Lunch Creek during the late summer into fall and sport fishing from the beach is a popular summer activity. Settlers Cove PUC is the only public cabin on the Ketchikan road system. Drive up convenience allows ease of access for all people wanting to enjoy the outdoor recreational opportunities of Settlers Cove State Recreation Site. Cabin is popular during the summer so book in advance.
