 Forest Service Cabin |

The U.S. Forest Service maintains cabins throughout the Tongass National Forest. These cabins come in several styles including Pan Abode, A-Frame, and Plywood. The cabins can be reserved for a small nightly fee. You can find detailed information, maps, and pictures of all the cabins available here. Cabin reservations can be made over the internet at www.reserveusa.com Many of these cabins can only be accessed by air, and Pacific Airways can get you there. We operate one type of aircraft. The table below describes the limits of these aircraft. Keep in mind that useful load is the total weight the aircraft can carry, including passengers, no matter how many seats are occupied. If you have any questions please contact us.
