Area
Green Island
Location
The cabin is located on Green Island between Gibbon Anchorage (a shallow bay) and Prince William Sound.
Access
Access to the cabin is by float plane or boat. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities. This facility is wheelchair-accessible.
Terrain
The surrounding terrain is a spruce and hemlock forest with boggy muskeg openings.
Special Features
Wildlife in the area abounds, including migratory waterfowl and Sitka black-tailed deer.
The beaches on the Prince William Sound shoreline offer expansive views of the water and surrounding mountains. Occasionally, humpback and killer whales can be seen spouting offshore. Sea otters and other sea mammals are in the area as well.
Anglers will find several creeks flowing into the bay. In mid-July, pink salmon spawn in most of the little creeks, and coho arrive in August. Some of the lakes in the area have good-sized cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden. Fishing for halibut and rockfish in the nearby ocean waters is accessible with a boat.
Hunters can take advantage of a long hunting season on the island. Sitka black-tailed deer can be challenging to hunt, but worth traversing the terrain.
