It can also be a challenge. Very few cabins can be reached without the use of a boat or an aircraft. Many require a hike. Give special attention to the tide information provided for each saltwater cabin. The lower the tide, the longer the walk to the cabin, sometimes as much as 2 miles.
Some cabins are inaccessible by boat or plane at low tide.
Tide information is also extremely significant for those cabin users planning to boat to cabins on the Stikine River and the adjacent tide flats. Consult local tide tables when planning time of departure, length of stay, and time of return from your trip. Check with the local district office for the correct tide table to use for the cabin of your choice. Contact a charter company in the town closest to the cabin you plan to use for more information on getting to the cabin. The Chamber of Commerce offices may provide information on air, boat, and other transportation services.
