Alaska's US Forest Service Cabins are a great way to spend the weekend in the outdoors. There are 110 Forest Service Cabins to choose from in the Ketchikan area. Whether it is a cabin on a lake in the Misty Fjords National Monument to spend a romantic weekend away, or a cabin on one of the various creeks or rivers to test your skills at fly fishing with a group of friends, this is truly a great experience (definitely a local's favorite way to go).
The cabins themselves range from $25 to $45 per night. The U.S. Forest Service website will provide you with all the additional information you need about the cabins and will allow you to make your reservations online.
