ADF&G Public Use Cabins

Donna Lake Cabin

The Donna Lake Cabin is located on the north shore of Donna Lake, south of the Alaska Highway just east of the Gerstle River.

The cabin is accessed by an ATV trail that begins at MP 1391.8 of the Alaska Highway. There is a large parking area on the south side of the highway with a double-ended turnout and an ATV/snowmachine loading ramp. Follow the ATV trail starting at the west end of the parking lot 3.6 miles to the cabin. Sections of the trail traverse low-lying areas that can be muddy and rutted. Multiple trails exist in these sections that make travel and navigation difficult.

Donna Lake is approximately 58 acres and is stocked with rainbow trout. For more lake information please visit our Lake Data pages
