Don't forget you'll need a valid Alaska sportfishing license to fish anywhere in Alaska. It is also a good idea to check with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game for regulations and bag limits. There are a few places where camping is restricted, such as developed recreation sites or managed wildlife viewing sites. There are about 150 cabins spread all over the Tongass in several different settings. Some are on beaches, lakes, rivers or in alpine meadows.
None are accessible by road, but can be reached by trail, boat or small airplane.
They are rustic and offer solitude, beautiful scenery, sometimes great fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing. Pack Creek on Admiralty Island is a well established bear viewing area. The rules we require visitors to follow at the site work well to minimize any conflict with the bears' salmon fishing. There is an armed host on duty during the peak viewing season, although the host cannot be at all areas of the site at all times. Thousands of people have visited, yet there has never been an injury at Pack Creek.
