Green Island Cabin

Green Island Cabin offers a remote, year-round lodging experience in the Chugach National Forest, situated on the northwest side of Green Island. Fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing are available within the area. Access is by float plane or boat. This facility is wheelchair-accessible. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety. 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, and 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. The cabin is 16-by-20 and fully wheelchair-accessible, furnished with wooden bunks that sleep up to six guests. Other amenities include a table, benches, wood and oil stoves for heat, a rainwater catchment barrel, axe, splitting maul, saw and an outdoor pit toilet. There is no running water, electricity, cut firewood or heating oil: bring your own water for drinking, cooking and washing, as well as #1 stove oil, food, sleeping bags and pads, a cook stove, matches, cooking gear, lanterns or flashlights, toilet paper, a first aid kit and garbage bags. All trash and food must be packed out, and visitors are expected to clean the cabin before leaving. The cabin is located on Green Island between Gibbon Anchorage, a shallow bay, and Prince William Sound. The surrounding terrain is a spruce and hemlock forest with boggy muskeg openings, home to migratory waterfowl and Sitka black-tailed deer. The beaches on the Prince William Sound shoreline offer expansive views of the water and surrounding mountains, and occasionally humpback and killer whales can be seen spouting offshore; sea otters and other sea mammals are in the area as well.
