This cabin is dedicated to the memory of Park Ranger Darryl Hunt, who worked for the Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation from 1981 until 2003. Ranger Hunt managed the Chena River State Recreation Area from 1994 to 2003. Far all except the last two years, he was the "lone ranger". Darryl cared deeply about the Recreation Area, placing the well-being of the area and its visitors foremost in his heart.
Relax on the front porch and gaze out on the Chena River or whip the sparkling crystal-clear water for hungry Grayling. The cabin's location makes is a great starting point for a float trip.
The cabin is supplied with a wood stove, table, seats, broom, ax, saw, and shovel. This cabin was constructed by volunteers and State Park staff for your use and enjoyment. Please help keep it neat and attractive for those who will use it after your visit.
