About This Location

Experience true Alaskan wilderness at Phocena Bay Cabin. This remote, year-round USFS cabin offers scenic bay views, fishing, and hiking on Gravina Island.

Nestled on the tranquil south shore of Phocena Bay on the west side of Gravina Island, Phocena Bay Cabin offers an authentic and remote Alaskan getaway. Originally constructed in 1973, this primitive cabin provides a secluded base for adventurers looking to immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the region. Accessible only by float plane or boat, the site is surrounded by breathtaking coastal scenery and abundant local wildlife, making it a dream destination for those seeking solitude and a direct connection to nature.

The cabin serves as a perfect launchpad for outdoor enthusiasts, offering direct fishing access and nearby hiking trails to explore the island's terrain. While the facility remains primitive and lacks utility hookups, it provides a rustic shelter that is available for use year-round. Guests should come prepared for a true backcountry experience, as the site offers minimal amenities beyond a fire ring for cozy evening campfires.

This location is ideal for beginner-friendly wilderness explorers who are comfortable with remote travel logistics. Whether you are arriving by boat or plane, the cabin provides a unique, off-the-grid experience for those eager to explore the quiet corners of the Alaskan coastline.
