Public Use Cabin - Fure's Cabin

Fure's cabin, a beautifully constructed one-room house on Naknek Lake's Bay of Islands, is a public use cabin. Now a refuge for kayakers, canoers, and hikers, the cabin was once the home of trapper, miner, and Naknek local Roy Fure.

Katmai only administers one public use cabin. Book your stay at Fure's cabin on recreation.gov

 

Fure's Cabin is a key stopover for those attempting the Savonoski Loop paddle trip, but it is also a beautiful destination in its own right. It is not an alternate for Brooks Camp Campground as the distance between the cabin and the campground requires at minimum a full day of paddling or the use of a boat or plane. There is no public transportation to Fure’s Cabin. View a list of authorized commercial partners that may provide transportation services. Paddlers originating from Brooks Camp should allow one to three days to travel the 30+ miles from Brooks Camp to Fure's Cabin in the Bay of Islands.
