Kansky's

Kansky's (or Kanski's, Big Skookum, and Devil's Mountain Lodge) is a former boarding house, now used as a hunting lodge, at mile 42 (the generally drivable end) of the Nabesna Road in Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve of eastern Alaska. The property includes a log cabin, bunkhouse, and storage building, which were built in 1934 by Steve Kanski to provide lodging and travel services to road crews and workers at the nearby mines. The property, a private inholding within the bounds of the national park, is now operated as a hunting lodge.

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
