About Mallard Slough Cabin
Overview Mallard Slough Cabin provides an excellent basecamp for exploration of the Stikine River Delta and Stikine-LeConte Wilderness. The surrounding area offers opportunities for hiking, paddling, hunting and birdwatching. The cabin is located between LeConte Bay and the North Arm of the Stikine River, 22 miles from Wrangell and 20 miles from Petersburg, Alaska. The site can be accessed by float plane or shallow draft boat, depending on conditions. Access to the cabin requires at least a 14-foot tide for boats and 16 feet for float planes. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities. Recreation The Mallard Slough Trail is a 2.7 mile trail fron the cabin to LeConte Bay. The first 0.4 miles of the trail is maintained to the grassflats of Cheliped Bay. Once on the grassflats, the trail is marshy and marked solely by occasional posts. The area around the cabin is also ideal for exploring by kayak or canoe during high tide. The Forest Service does not provide boats, and guests must also bring their own flotation devices. Tide tables should be consulted before any boating excursion. This cabin is also in a prime location for waterfowl hunting in the fall. Facilities This 16-by-16 cabin ( modified A-frame style ) was built in 1980 and has two single bunks (one with a trundle bed) and a second-floor loft, to sleep up to seven people. It is also equipped with a table with benches, a wood stove, and broom.
