Shelter Bay Cabin

Shelter Bay Cabin offers a truly unique Alaskan wilderness experience, situated on the remote southwest shore of Hinchinbrook Island within the expansive Chugach National Forest. At an elevation of just 14 feet, this site provides immediate access to the rugged coastline, making it a premier destination for those seeking solitude and raw natural beauty. The setting is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts interested in beachcombing, wildlife viewing, and hunting in a pristine, untouched environment.

As a federal facility managed by the USFS, the cabin serves as a rustic basecamp for adventurous travelers. While the site provides essential shelter and access to excellent fishing, visitors should be prepared for a self-sufficient trip. Amenities are minimal, consisting of firewood and direct fishing access, and guests are responsible for bringing all necessary supplies for their stay.

This location is best suited for experienced outdoorsmen and those comfortable with remote travel. Access is exclusively by boat, floatplane at high tide, or wheel plane at low tide. Whether you are looking to escape the crowds or enjoy the quiet rhythm of the Alaskan coast, Shelter Bay Cabin provides an unforgettable backcountry retreat.
