Coldfoot Cabin

Dog owners are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs.

Pack out your trash.

Please close cabin windows, outhouse door, and cabin when leaving.

The BLM strives to maintain tools and equipment in good working order, but visitors should be prepared to be self-sufficient. Cabin amenities include: wooden bunks, table & chairs, cooking area, woodstove for heating, propane cookstove, outhouse, broom & dust pan, shovel, smoke detector and fire extinguisher. (Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring their own required amenities not included at the cabin.)

The cabin does not have electricity or running water. Visitors must bring their own food, water, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, matches, utensils, toilet paper, first aid kit, 1-pound propane bottles for the cook stove, firewood, and trash bags.

The cabin is wired with lights and outlets which can be powered by a generator. A generator plug-in is located outside the cabin near the southwest corner. You must supply your own generator and fuel.

You must bring your own firewood. There is not a nearby area for cutting firewood.

Reservations: The cabin must be reserved in advance and paid for when you make your reservation. Stays are limited to three consecutive nights. Reservations cost $42 per night plus a rec.gov fee of $8, and may be made up to 45 days in advance. Reservations are from noon to noon. Weekends and holidays are times of peak use. A computer terminal will be available at the Fairbanks District Office for individuals lacking computer access to make reservations online.

The driveway and path to the cabin and outhouse are plowed approximately once a month throughout the winter, so access could be difficult after heavy snowfall.
