Bring your own sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cooking stove, lantern, pots, pans, plates, utensils, food, toilet paper, garbage bags, fire extinguisher and fire starter. This cabin contains a wood stove. Checats Lake is a glacially formed basin with steep, rocky cliff faces on three sides. The cabin sits on a little knoll at the outlet of the lake, so stream and lake fishing is abundant. This is a unique Pan-Abode style cabin because the interior was remodeled in 1994.
Additional lighting provided by a larger skylight furnishes a bright and cheery interior.
Because of the land formations and the location of the cabin, there are many scenic and wildlife photo opportunities. Hunting for mountain goat, Sitka blacktail deer, black bear, and brown bear all occur in this area.
