Moose Valley Cabin is located just off the Moose Valley Loop trail. This is a rustic little cabin complete with a stream running just off of the front porch. Special park attractions include Poot Peak, China Poot Bay, Halibut Cove Lagoon, and China Poot (Leisure) Lake. Be advised that the bunks are basic and need ample padding to be comfortable.

Moose Valley Cabin offers a host of recreational opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. Fishing, boating, kayaking, and hiking just to name a few. You will have the opportunity to observe sea otters, seals, porpoise and whales. Land mammals include moose, black bear, mountain goats, coyotes and wolves. Bird watching is another favorite pastime; species include eagles, gyrfalcons and puffins.

Location:
located just off the Moose Valley Loop trail. It is approximately 2.8 miles from the Halibut Cove Lagoon Ranger Station. The trail leaves the China Poot Lake trail about 1.8 miles from the station and ‘loops' through Moose Valley and up to the South side of Poot Peak. From Poot Peak, access the South Spur trail to China Poot Lake (Leisure Lake) or the Wosnesenski River Trail.
