hunting and wildlife viewing are available within the area.

arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities. This facility is wheelchair-accessible. Recreation 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. Facilities The cabin is 16-by-20 and fully wheelchair-accessible. It is 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.

All trash and food must be packed out, and visitors are expected to clean the cabin before leaving. Natural Features 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. 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.
