note
orientationDescription Montague Island is in the Gulf of Alaska at the entrance to Prince William Sound. The cabin is situated on 80-acre Stump Lake near low hills rising from a thick spruce and hemlock forest. An understory of muskeg, shrubs and grasses blanket the area. Wildlife is abundant, including migratory waterfowl, Sitka black-tailed deer and brown bear (learn more about bear safety ).
recreationDescription Anglers will find that Montague Island is a prime fishing location. Cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden are the most abundant fish near the cabin. They can be caught off of the rocky points or near the pond lily beds around the lake with fly fishing or spinning gear. Pink, coho and sockeye salmon come into the lake, but the populations are relatively small. The best spot for coho and pink salmon fishing is in the ocean or at the mouth of the creek at high tide. Hunters can take advantage of a long hunting season in the surrounding national forest. Bear season occurs during spring and fall, while deer season begins in late summer and lasts through late fall. The cabin is just under a mile walk from the Gulf of Alaska and the open ocean. The sandy beach is a good place for beachcombers to search for glass Japanese fishing floats and other sea-borne treasures. Guests are welcome to use the facility's rowboat, though life vests are not provided.
