About Blind Pass Cabin
Overview
Blind Pass Cabin sits on the northwest shore of Hassler Island, on Blind Pass. This secluded retreat is open year-round and makes an ideal base camp for exploring the various bays and inlets in the northern Behm Canal area.
The site can be accessed by float plane, boat or kayak, depending on conditions. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.
Recreation
The area is noted for king salmon runs into the Unuk River, with other salmon species, halibut, red snapper, Dungeness crab and shrimp also in abundance. A freshwater lake with trout is located about a half-mile upstream from the cabin. There is no trail to the lake.
Sea kayaking is a popular mode of transportation, and many kayakers use this cabin as a base for exploring Bell Island, Gedney Pass and Bell Arm. It is also possible to kayak to Bailey Bay and hike to the Lake Shelokum Hot Springs. Guests must supply their own equipment and should consult local tide tables before departing.
Hunting is also possible in designated seasons with a permit.
Facilities
This 12-by-14 cabin ( pan-abode style ) has two single bunks and two double bunks, to sleep up to six people. It is also equipped with a table and benches, broom, tiny woood stove and an outhouse. A mooring float is available, but it is not for the exclusive use of cabin guests.
Water and electricity are not provided. Firewood maybe avaliable but guest should consider brining some compressed log firewood to utilize in the Tiny Wood Stove. Water is available from a nearby creek, but guests should be sure to treat any water taken from a natural source prior to drinking or cooking with it ( water safety tips ). It is recommended that guests bring their own water supply.
Other items to pack include sleeping bags, sleeping pads, lanterns or flashlights, cookware, plates, utensils, food, toilet paper, garbage bags, a fire extinguisher and matches, among other necessities. Guests are expected to pack out trash and clean the cabin before leaving ( click here for more cabin details).
Natural Features
The cabin is tucked into a sheltered cove, surrounded by old-growth forest. Low tides reveal a long beach in front of the cabin, and there is an adjacent stream. Guests have views of Blind Pass and densely forested Black Island, which makes up the opposite shore.
Wildlife in the area include Sitka black-tailed deer, black bears and wolves ( bear safety information ). A variety of waterfowl and marine mammals may be seen in Blind Pass.
