About

The Deep Bay Cabin is a fully ADA accessible large group recreation cabin located on a small bench above Deep Bay on Zarembo Island. The facility consists of two buildings connected by a partially covered deck with a picnic table, accommodating up to 12 people. Each building features sleeping rooms, a common room, and an oil stove for heat. The cabin includes a wheelchair ramp from the parking area, an outdoor fire grill, picnic table, and outhouse. Wooden furnishings were crafted by Wrangell High School's industrial arts class in 2017. The cabin is situated on Zarembo Island's extensive road system, which provides excellent access for hunting, berry gathering, and ATV exploration. The Whale Trail offers opportunities to observe humpback whales from shore. The surrounding terrain is mountainous and densely forested with occasional muskegs, and Roosevelt elk are occasionally seen on the island. The cabin is accessible year-round by float plane or boat from Roosevelt Harbor, where there is a float dock, ramp, and parking area located about 1/4 mile from the cabin.

Directions

Deep Bay Cabin is located on the south end of Deep Bay on the northeast corner of Zarembo Island. The cabin is a short walk from Deep Bay and about 1/4 mile from Roosevelt Harbor just off of the Zarembo Beach Road FSR 6590. The cabin is only accessible by boat or float plane, about 15 miles from Wrangell. There is a float dock, ramp, and parking area at Roosevelt Harbor. Use caution when anchoring a boat due to the rocky shoreline. Check local tide tables to determine the best time for arrival and departure. Note there is no access from the dock to the beach in Roosevelt Harbor.
