About this campground
Long Lake Shelter offers a remote wilderness experience in the Tongass National Forest, situated on the north end of Long Lake in Southeast Alaska. This three-sided shelter provides basic protection from the elements and is accessed via a 0.6-mile trail from the lake shore. The shelter location is remote, typically requiring floatplane or boat access to reach the trailhead. The Forest Service provides firewood and a 14-foot aluminum skiff with oars for rowing around the lake, though visitors must bring their own personal flotation devices. The shelter does not include bedding or cooking utensils, so campers must pack in all personal gear and supplies.
