Harrison Lagoon Cabin is located in the Chugach National Forest, surrounded by forested terrain and coastal waters. Temperatures in the area can range from highs in the 60s Fahrenheit during summer to lows in the 20s during winter. Visitors can explore nearby attractions such as the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and Portage Glacier.

## Overview

 Harrison Lagoon Cabin is open for year-round enjoyment, offering a variety of recreational opportunities on land and water. The cabin's remote location makes an ideal base for exploring the natural beauty of Prince William Sound. The Cabin is located on Chugach National Forest lands within the Nellie Juan - College Fiord Wilderness Study Area. The site can be accessed by float plane or boat, depending on conditions. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities including sleeping pads, sleeping bags, cook stove, toilet paper, pots and utensils as well as some form of water purification. 
## Recreation

 Guests who have kayaks can use them for exploring the coast or crossing the lagoon, which offers more hiking possibilities than the area around the cabin. It is possible to walk the lagoon at low tide, but tide tables [should be consulted][1] to time the return hike at low tide as well.It is also possible to access the Granite Mine Trail via a ~1mile beach walk South from the Cabin along Port Wells to the Granite Mine Trailhead. Again tide tables should be consulted and timed appropriately to avoid being stuck and unable to return to the Cabin in a given tide cycle.Hunting for black bear and waterfowl is allowed with the proper permits in designated areas in-season. Fishing is fair for pink salmon in August, either in Lagoon Creek (inland from Harrison Lagoon) or in saltwater. Shrimping is also possible. Berry pickers can harvest blueberries and salmonberries near the cabin when they are in season. 
## Natural Features

 Harrison Lagoon is located on the west side of Port Wells in Prince William Sound. The cabin is tucked into a stand of conifer trees on a gravel spit that separates the lagoon and the Sound. One side faces Port Wells, and the other faces the lagoon. The lagoon itself is surrounded by rocky shoreline and dense evergreen forest, with views of distant snow-capped mountains. Black bears, Sitka black-tailed deer and bald eagles make their home here ([learn about bearsafety][2]). The lagoon and Port Wells support many seabirds, Dall's and harbor porpoises, harbor seals, sea otter and some sea lions frequent the area. Orcas and humpback whales may be seen in Port Wells.
