ATTENTION YURT, CABIN & RAPIDS CAMPING AREA USERS
June 18, 2021 Update:  Fish and Game biologists found and euthanized the black bear that had slashed the vinyl covering of our 3 yurts in recent weeks on June 17, 2021.  The bear never breached the wooden lattice structure to gain access to the inside.  The yurts have been taped up for now and more work will be completed in the next weeks/months.  Although they don't look pretty, they are fine to use.  Remember that this is bear country:  take all precautions when cooking, eating and storing your food in the provided lockers.  Questions?  Contact us at 907-694-2108.

Please remember that during the months of June, July and August we will be only supplying limited firewood at the cabin and yurts.  Each facility will have one bundle for use per night to keep the chill off inside.  Please DO NOT use this wood for outdoor fires.  Gather dead wood on the forest floor or bring your own for campfires.  Please DO NOT cut green trees - they don't burn AND it's terrible for the area.  Thank you!
