Thumb Cove State Marine Park is one of Resurrection Bay's most scenic and popular anchorages. The spectacular rock faces and waterfalls of this cove offer the mariner a peaceful respite from the bay's afternoon wind and waves. This marine park has two public use cabins for rent, Porcupine Glacier and Spruce Glacier cabins. The Spruce Glacier cabin is fully wheelchair accessible but requires assisted access from the water landing to the beach berm at the end of the boardwalk.
The park includes the southeast shoreline of the cove - a long beach of fine to medium sand and beach gravel; forested uplands of spruce, hemlock and alder; and most of the waters of Thumb Cove. The most striking geologic feature in the park is Porcupine Glacier, towering above the park.
Each cabin has two sets of full size bunk beds (no mattresses), a table, benches, counter and a wood stove (for heating only). An axe and saw may not be available due to theft, so plan on being equipped to split and cut your own wood. Wood may be scarce and wet; to insure yourself a fire, bring your own wood. A latrine is located almost directly behind each cabin. Plan on providing your own toilet paper should none be found at the latrine. Also, please purify all water before drinking.
