Phocena Bay Cabin can be accessed by float plane or boat and is a great base for experiencing the wildlife and recreation of Gravina Island. Visitors are responsible for their own amenities and safety, and can explore the area by boat, kayak, or by foot. There is no electricity, indoor plumbing, or cell phone coverage, but wood stoves provide heat and a mooring buoy is available. Wildlife like Sitka black-tailed deer, wolves, and bald eagles can be seen around the cabin.
The 12x14-ft. ( pan-abode style ) log cabin accommodates 6 people with 2 single and 2 double
bunks. Other amenities include a table and benches, a cooking counter, food storage, broom, splitting maul, and an outhouse. A wood stove is provided for heat. Bring your own firewood as it cannot be guaranteed.
A mooring buoy is currently unsafe. Prepare to anchor within the bay.
Drinking water is not available at the cabin. Visitors must bring their own water supply, but water is also available from a roof water collection system and should be treated before drinking or consuming it
( water safety ).
Visitors should also bring sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cooking gear, lanterns or flashlights, food, toilet paper, garbage bags, a fire extinguisher and fire starter.
Rain gear and boots are recommended. Visitors are expected to pack out their trash, gear and food and clean the cabin before leaving (additional cabin details).
