The Windfall Lake trail ends at this public use cabin, which overlooks the lake and comes with the use of a canoe. The trail up until this point can be quite muddy in the summer, but the muddiest spots have been graveled over to make for easier passage. If you were planning to bikepack the cabin it must be reserved in advance, for a fee, at recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232948. If you have not reserved the cabin, please do not disturb its occupants.

The Dan Moller public use cabin, situated in a pretty alpine cirque, makes a logical turnaround point for your run. Hikers sometimes continue off-trail to gain the ridge above you, but that's really not runnable terrain.

The Joe Thompson Public Use Cabin sits at the trailhead for the Portage Creek Trail. You have to pay a fee and make a reservation to actually stay at the Joe Thompson Public Use Cabin, but you can run the trail and head back to the main part of the island in just a few hours. Note that like many trailheads in Lake Clark National Park, you can only get here by boat or float plane.

A rustic cabin at the end of Caribou Creek Trail. Reservations are required and must be made at least six months in advance of intended stay. More information can be found here: nps.gov/wrst/planyourvisit/caribou-creek-cabin.htm

Although the Kincaid Chalet (sometimes called the Kincaid Outdoor Center) can be rented out for public events, it's usually open to the public as a place to warm up or dry off from your recreational efforts. With plentiful parking available, it's a great place to either start or finish a bike ride. More information on the chalet is available here: https://www.muni.org/Departments/parks/Pages/Kincaid.aspx

The Mint Hut was built in 1971 at this scenic spot in the upper Mint Valley, a gateway to the majestic Talkeetna Mountains. The hut can be used as a place to rest before starting your journey back, and staying there overnight is permitted on a first-come first-serve basis. The Mint Hut is managed by the Mountaineering Club of Alaska (MCA) and visitors are required to pay for an MCA membership before spending the night here.
