Virginia Lake (elevation 105 feet) is located on the mainland, east of Wrangell. The flight departs the Wrangell Airport for a day of fishing and relaxing in the wilderness -- yet just 10 minutes from civilization. There is a US Forest Service cabin located on the east end of the lake that can be reserved. Fish for cutthroat from May to September. You may want to hike the one mile down to Mill Creek, the saltwater access (Eastern Passage) to Virginia Lake. Some remnants of old mining activity can still be seen near the head of the Mill Creek Trail.
