Access is by floatplane or trail from Salmon Bay. Boat access is only possible during the highest tides. A sandy beach in front of the cabin permits swimming and related beach activities during the warmer summer months.
Fishing is very popular.
Cutthroat trout, Dolly Varden, steelhead, coho, pink, chum, and sockeye salmon are present. Sighting of mink, marten, otter, Sitka black-tail deer, and black bear is common. Two skiffs and oars are provided. Trail extends from the saltwater flats of Salmon Bay to skiff located on Salmon Bay Lake. Skiff can then be used to access the cabin.
