The area offers wilderness solitude and beauty. Goulding Lake Cabin is located in a flat, lightly wooded area on the northwest shore of Otter Lake, on the western edge of Chichagof Island within the West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness Area. The surrounding terrain varies from open muskegs to densely forested steep slopes. A topographic map of the area is a must for exploration of nearby lakes and high alpine meadows. Brown bear frequent the area.
Recreation: Visitors enjoy exploring Otter Lake and Goulding Lake to the east. The two lakes are connected. A boat is not currently available at the cabin. To aid exploring area waters, visitors should bring a pack raft or other type of inflatable boat. Fishing is possible but slow in the area. Cutthroat trout can be caught below the falls and in the lower lake west of the cabin all year. Dolly Varden fishing is year round, while steelhead and coho are seasonal. Photography opportunities abound. For information about fishing permits and seasons, visit the Alaska Department of Fish and Game website.
