One of the most popular attractions in the North Arm of the Kenai Fjords is the cabin that is rented to visitors of the park. The park is remote and the cabin is in a remote section of the park, located about 40 minutes, via plane ride from the city of Homer. It can also be accessed by boat, which is a 3-6 hour ride from the town of Seward. Those visiting the park should be prepared for bear encounters, and black bears are considered frequent visitors in the area. This is especially true in the tidal flats behind Pilot Harbor. There are occasionally grizzly sighting as well, so bear safety procedures should be followed. Bald eagles and harbor seals are also frequent visitors in the area. The stream closest to the cabin often has abundant pink salmon runs, which then bring Dolly Varden to the area, so bring your fishing poles. The terrain is primarily thick spruce forest and dense undergrowth. The views are incredible from Storm Mountain, and there is also a waterfall nearby. If you are traveling by boat, it is important to know if you are traveling by boat that it may be tough to anchor in teh area near the cabin. There is no ramp, but it is possible to anchor at the beach and make the short walk from the shore. No hunting or trapping is allowed in the area.
