Spruce Glacier cabin is in Thumb Cove State Marine Park. Thumb Cove State Marine Park is located on the east side of Resurrection Bay, approximately 7.5 miles from Seward. The park includes the southeast shoreline of the cove—a long beach with fine to medium sand and beach gravel; forested uplands of spruce, hemlock and alder. The most striking geologic feature in the park is Porcupine Glacier, towering above the park.

Spruce Glacier cabin offers a host of recreational opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. Salmon fishing, hiking, spectacular scenery and wildlife viewing are some of the recreational opportunities available at this location. The remains of a barge that drifted into the cove after the 1964 earthquake and tsunami can still be seen on the beach. At very low tides, a small mudflat is revealed and eelgrass beds exist in this area. Boaters please avoid anchoring in the eelgrass if possible, as it is an important habitat for juvenile fish.

Location:
The park and cabins can only be reached by private boat, floatplane, or commercial water taxi service. If using a private boat, please use the caution necessary for coastal Alaskan waters with respect to tides, weather, currents and your party's abilities and experience level. The waters of Resurrection Bay are generally choppy in afternoons and can become hazardous to small watercraft.
