Fure's Cabin, a beautifully constructed one-room house, located on the north side of the Bay of Islands in Naknek Lake and accessed by float plane or boat. Now a refuge for kayakers, canoers, and hikers, the cabin was once the home of trapper, miner, and famed Naknek local Roy Fure.

Fure's Cabin is a key stopover for those attempting the Savonoski Loop paddle trip, but it is also a beautiful destination in its own right. It is not an alternate for Brooks Camp Campground as the distance between the cabin and the campground requires at minimum a full day of paddling or the use of a boat or plane. There is no public transportation to Fure’s Cabin available. View a list of authorized commercial partners that may provide transportation services. Paddlers originating from Brooks Camp should allow one to three days to travel the 30+ miles from Brooks Camp to Fure's Cabin in the Bay of Islands.
