El Capitan Cave
We provide transport to the El Capitan Cave site and can help book your tours through the US Forest Service. Groups of 2-6. This trip includes stops at Beaver Falls Karst Interpretive Trail and Cavern Lake cave and karst sites. The trip departs from Craig or Klawock, with a 4-hour round-trip drive. The cave tour itself takes about an hour and a half, and the boardwalk trail hike at Beaver Falls can take 30 minutes to an hour. Cavern Lake is a quick stop along the way to see a great cave feature.
Dog Salmon Wildlife (Bear) Viewing Area
We provide transport to and from the Forest Service wildlife viewing area on Dog Salmon Creek. This area features a short flat trail, a fish pass (usually filled with salmon during runs), and attracts many of the Island’s native black bears—perfect for photography! Along the way, we stop at Trocadero Trail, a hike through wetland areas leading to a beautiful, fish-filled stream.
Luck Lake
Located near the charming town of Coffman Cove, this beautiful day-use site is a wonderful addition to Forest Service facilities on the island. On this trip, we enjoy a leisurely canoe or kayak paddle on a calm freshwater lake, with great spots to go ashore for solitude, wildlife viewing, and a picnic meal. Along the way, we stop briefly in Coffman Cove, where you can grab a souvenir or a sandwich if the restaurant is open. If time allows, we also hike down Hatchery Creek Trail to watch salmon leap the falls and possibly spot a black bear.
Sarkar Lake
This large freshwater lake is steeped in history and mystery. It is home to a visitor use cabin and a remote canoe route. For the day, we paddle to the end of the lake and back. This trip is suited for experienced paddlers, as it requires a solid couple of hours of canoeing or kayaking. The far shoreline is a green and mossy paradise, home to ancient fish camps and plenty of opportunities for stunning photos and memorable experiences.
Things to Know
Our van seats 1-6 comfortably, but we may be able to accommodate larger groups—ask us! Food is not included, but we are working with local providers to offer picnic lunches. In the meantime, bring your own snacks such as smoked salmon, fruit, cheese, and nuts—anything that travels well. Pack extra in case of unexpected delays, and bring plenty of water!
We are not a freshwater fishing guide service, though we can help you coordinate with guides. You are welcome to bring your own rods to certain lakes, but we do not provide fishing advice or transport fish. Catch-and-release is required.
