The cabin is surrounded by an old-growth forest of spruce, hemlock and cedar. It offers nice views of Bakewell Lake and the gentle, forested mountain slopes on the other side. A white sand beach is located in front of the cabin. The surrounding area is home to a large population of brown bears ( click here for information on bear safety). Sitka black-tailed deer, beavers, otters, eagles, loons and a variety of other birds also make their home here. Wolves can sometimes be heard in the distance.
Recreation: A 14-foot aluminum skiff with oars is available at the cabin, but guests must provide their own life jackets. Anglers can fish for Dolly Varden and cutthroat trout in the lake, with some steelhead likely available near the outlet. From July through September, sockeye, pink, chum and coho salmon make their way to the lake to spawn. Hikers can access the 1-mile Bakewell Lake Trail at the north end of the lake, which connects the lake to Bakewell Arm. Highlights of the trail include a fish ladder and a 40-foot waterfall. Hunting is also possible in this area with the proper permit.
