Getting There:

Harding River Cabin (AK)

Tongass/Wrangell AK

Located southeast of Wrangell on the mainland at the mouth of the Harding River, which is on the north side of the Bradfield Canal. Distance is 31 miles by air, 40 miles by boat from Wrangell. The beach near the cabin slopes gradually and does not provide for easy boat anchoring. Recommend anchoring boat in deeper water and using skiff or punt between boat and shore.
