Hot springs repair work to begin in July

WRANGELL, Alaska – The Chief Shakes Hot Springs Recreation Area, a popular recreation site in the Wrangell Ranger District, will undergo repairs beginning this summer. Scheduled work includes foundation repairs to decaying cedar posts on the indoor tub and roof replacements to the indoor tub and outdoor changing room.

Work is scheduled to take place from mid-July to mid-August, and the indoor tub and outdoor changing room will be closed to the public during construction. However, this work is necessary to ensure that these facilities are available for the public well into the future.

The outdoor hot tub will remain open to the public. The Wrangell-Petersburg-Kake Resource Advisory Committee was instrumental in obtaining funding for this project.

Construction updates will be available by calling the District office at 874-2323 or tuning into the District’s weekly Recreation & Road Radio Report on KSTK 101.7.
