Pincher Creek Cabin AK

Howdy. Thinking about checking out Pincher Creek Cabin by Kenai. Anyone have any info on how it is landing there? Super muddy and soft or okay? Thanks!

Re: Pincher Creek Cabin AK

I go there regularly in the summers. Some times for the night some times for a walk in the grass. It is lovely.

There are two strips there's. They are both quite smooth and about 700-800+ feet long. They are both probably longer if needed as the ground out there is fairly smooth. There are some time downs at the cabin. I have never had it too soft when I have been there, but the grass and th silt would be very slick if wet. Maybe a little softer if wet, but nothing a set of 8.00-6 tires couldn't handle.

Watch out though, in July the flies out there are unbearable.

Great place for a night or a weekend.

The cabin is relatively new. It is owned by the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and can be reserved on www.recreation.gov.
