Top 4 Huts and Cabins around Juneau

The Windfall Lake trail ends at this public use cabin, which overlooks the lake and comes with the use of a canoe. The trail up until this point can be quite muddy in the summer, but the muddiest spots have been graveled over to make for easier passage. If you were planning to bikepack the cabin it must be reserved in advance, for a fee, at recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232948. If you have not reserved the cabin, please do not disturb its occupants.

The trail does continue farther along the shore of Peterson Lake; however, that section of trail is particularly prone to flooding and muddy conditions during the summer, so it's generally considered a winter trail that is best for skiing, snowshoeing, and fat-tire biking if snow conditions are conducive. So for summer bikers, the Peterson Lake public use cabin is the logical end of the trail. The cabin itself is very popular and if you wanted to bikepack here it must be reserved in advance, for a fee: recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232939

The Dan Moller public use cabin, situated in a pretty alpine cirque, makes a logical turnaround point for your run. Hikers sometimes continue off-trail to gain the ridge above you, but that's really not runnable terrain.

The trail comes to an end at the Dan Moller public use cabin, situated in an alpine cirque that offers beautiful views across the water and plenty of wildflowers in spring and summer. Some hikers continue hiking off-trail to the ridge above the cirque, where you can enjoy views of Stephens Passage and Admiralty Island. Admiralty Island is home to the highest concentration of brown bears in the world, making it enormously popular for guided tours. One note about the Dan Moller public use cabin: You must have prior reservations to use it. It can be reserved through recreation.gov. https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232941
