About
Sleeps up to 6 at Fielding Lake (Mile 200.5 Richardson Hwy.), at 2,973 feet elevation among tundra-covered hills - expect chilly nights, especially in winter, and high winds/blizzard conditions are possible. Summer access is by vehicle; the access road isn't plowed the rest of the year, so otherwise park on the highway and travel 1.5 miles to the lake by snowmachine, dog team, ski, or snowshoe. Heated by a wood stove (bring your own wood). Lake ice often lingers until July. Like every Alaska State Parks public-use cabin, it comes with wooden sleeping platforms, a table, and chairs or benches, plus a nearby outdoor latrine - no running water or indoor plumbing. Bring your own sleeping bag or bedding, cooking stove and fuel, cookware and utensils, and a 9-volt battery for the smoke detector. A natural water source is usually nearby but must be purified before drinking.
Fees
$45/night (Alaska State Parks' own published cabin rate). Reserve America adds a non-refundable $5 transaction fee per booking (a $4 fee applies to date changes made at least 3 days before arrival).
