Very nice cabin and location. It would be nice to have an anchor ball for boats. The bay in front of the cabin has a lot of area that is shale not mud

Moraine cabin is beautiful! They had recently done trail maintenance which cleared the view of Shoup Glacier. The cabin and outhouse were clean. The heater was not needed in July. I recommend paddling to the cabin so you can then kayak or canoe out to the glacier. We paddled out early one morning and were able to see seals!

We decided to beach the boat and settle in for a bonfire during low tide. We saw a sea dragon, talked with an otter for a few minutes, watched a tree just stand up and walk into the forest, a small pale child sat at the fire with us for almost an hour, and then a woman (probably his mom) swam by really, really fast. 100/100 recommend.
