Bohemia Basin Shelter

An Adirondack style emergency shelter at the mouth of Bohemia Creek on the north end of Lisianski Strait. The shelter is supplied with a wood stove, food preparation table, and sleeping bunks. This shelter has an outside deck with an assessable ramp and access to a rock fire ring with a bench. Access to the shelter is by floatplane or boat to a small boat dock and gangway managed by the City of Pelican. This is also the trail head for the 4.0 mile primitive trail to Takanis Lake. This shelter is available for recreational use on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations are not required. Firewood is not provided.
