About
Double Bay Cabin provides a remote lodging experience in the Chugach National Forest on Hinchinbrook Island in the Gulf of Alaska at the entrance to Prince William Sound. The 12x14 foot rustic cedar log cabin accommodates up to six guests on wooden bunks and includes a table, benches, wood and oil stoves for heat, a rainwater catchment barrel, axe, splitting maul, saw, and an outdoor pit toilet. The cabin sits on a narrow peninsula with Double Bay on one side and Prince William Sound on the other, near a tidal lagoon that transitions to low, rolling hillsides characterized by muskeg and patchy mature spruce and hemlock forest. Several creeks flow into the bay, offering excellent fishing opportunities. Pink and chum salmon enter the bay in mid-July to spawn, followed by coho salmon in mid-August. Halibut are found in saltwater near the bay mouth and in the Sound. Hunters can take advantage of extended bear seasons in spring and fall, and deer season from late summer through late fall. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, including migratory waterfowl, Sitka black-tailed deer, and brown bear. Beaches along the Prince William Sound shoreline offer stunning views of the Sound and surrounding mountains, with occasional sightings of humpback and killer whales. Visitors must bring their own drinking water, #1 heating oil, food, sleeping bags, cook stoves, and all camping gear. Access is by float plane (20 minutes from Cordova) or boat (35 miles from Cordova) at high tide. Approach may be difficult at low tide due to shallow lagoons.
