Viking Lodge Cabin Details

Viking Lodge Cabin is one of the most popular in the park and requires a reservation. Reservations can be made six months in advance by calling (907) 822-7253. This cabin is located a quarter mile from the Rock Lake Turnout on Nabesna Road. It's typically an easy 10-minute walk from the turnout, though it can be tricky after heavy rainfall. There are two twin-sized wooden bunks and a large loft area. The cabin can sleep up to six people. There is a stream close by which can be used to treat for drinking water. Fishing and hunting can be done close by under proper regulations. Important information about all park cabins: These cabins are all rustic backcountry cabins. Most are old mining, trapping, or hunting cabins that are located on public land and have come under the protection of the NPS. There is no running water, plumbing, or potable water on premises. There is a pit toilet outhouse at each cabin and each cabin has basic furnishings including wooden bunks, tables/chairs, and wood burning stoves. Each cabin is free to use (except Esker Stream Cabin) and most are first-come, first-served, though it is recommended to bring camping gear in case the cabin is already occupied on arrival. Maximum use for each cabin is seven days in a thirty day period. Consider bringing firewood since dead or downed wood is not always available, as well as dishes, supplies, toilet paper, and bedding. Visitors must pack out all garbage and leftover food.
