Natural features
The cabin is located on the east bank of the tidal slough in a low-lying area blanketed with alder and willow. Ponds dot the boggy landscape. This area offers a diversity of wildlife. Copper River Delta is a major resting and feeding area for 20 million shore birds and waterfowl traveling the Pacific Flyway. Waterfowl in the area include dusky Canada geese, mallard, pintail, green-winged teal, gadwall, widgeon and shoveler. Land mammals include brown bears, beaver, coyote, moose, wolf and land otters. Bear are most apparent during the spring as they hunt eggs and flightless birds. Sea mammals are not usually present, however, harbor seals will travel up slough following the salmon during their spawning runs.
Recreation
Bird watching is exceptional near this cabin. Anglers will need to travel upstream of the boat launch to Alaganik Slough to find productive fishing waters, as fishing near the cabin is poor because of water turbidity. In Alaganik Slough, however, silver salmon run from August to September, and sockeye salmon are abundant in late June through July. Hunters can take advantage of waterfowl, bear and deer hunting during designated seasons.
