alpine meadows. |

Water available from nearby stream or from lake. Treat
all water before using. |
| What to bring: |
Personal flotation devices (pfd), sleeping bags, sleeping
pads, cooking stove, lantern, pots, pans, plates, utensils,
food, toilet paper, garbage bags, fire extinguisher and
fire starter, rain gear and rubber boots. It's a good idea
to bring your own water. |
| More information: |
Poor weather conditions can arise quickly and may delay
flight arrivals and departures.
Firewood may be in short supply at any time of the year,
although it is generally provided.
DO NOT leave food behind when vacating this cabin. Pack
out all gear that you bring.
Porvided square-bowed skiff (rowboat) is small but heavy.
Uses long-shaft 2-10 hp outboard motor (not provided).
Each person in skiff should have Coast Guard approved
pfd. Be sure plug is in before launching boat. Please
tie skiff well up on shore and pull plug before leaving
so boat does not fill with rain water. |
| Special features: |
Great photography opportunities. Otter Lake and Goulding
Lake (to the east) are connected. Skiff at cabin can maneuver
between the two lakes, but it does take patience. Fishing
slow in this area. Cutthroat trout fishing all year below
falls and in lower lake (west of cabin). Steelhead and coho
run from Goulding Harbor into Goulding Lakes system. Boat
at cabin cannot access lakes to the west of cabin. Brown
bear frequent the area. |
