Jordan Lake is too small for most floatplanes, but some pilots will land there. In fall, winter and early spring, the cabin may be inaccessible due to frozen lake surface (floatplanes cannot land).

The Naha River provides opportunities to fish for trout and Dolly Varden. There are also steelhead and salmon runs.

Guests have use of the cabin’s 14-foot aluminum skiff with oars, but they must provide their own life jackets. A short shaft motor can be used with the skiff, but one is not provided.
