Mount Flemer Cabin
Overview
Mount Flemer Cabin is located on the Stikine River two miles from the border between the United States and Canada, and is popular with paddlers floating the Stikine River. The cabin is located within the Stikine-LeConte Wilderness and offers spectacular views.
The site can be accessed by a shallow draft boat, depending on conditions. The tide must be at least 14 feet in order to cross the Stikine River tide
flats. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.
Recreation
The waters around the cabin are ideal for navigating by kayak and canoe, and the cabin is often used by paddlers on multi-day float trips of the Stikine River from Telegraph Creek, BC, or the US/Cananda border to the town of Wrangell. Tide tables should be consulted before any boating excursion.
Nearby sloughs and the Kikahe River provide access to fishing for cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden. Opportunities for hunting exist in the area with the proper permits.

Natural Features
The cabin sits on moderately steep land at the base of Mount Flemer, among a stand of spruce trees on the bank of the Stikine River. Guests can enjoy spectacular views along the river, towards the border, including Elbow and Whitehead Mountains and others in the Coast Range. The backdrop of this area is faces of steep, granite rock. The surrounding rainforest is primarily Sitka spruce and western hemlock. Cottonwood is found extensively along the river's edge throughout the valley. Brown and black bears, moose and mountain goats are common to this area ( bear safety information ). The Stikine River serves as a travel corridor for birds between the interior forests and the coast and attracts a variety of migratory songbirds.Activities
