About This Location

Experience true Alaskan wilderness at the remote Coghill Lake Cabin. Perfect for anglers and hikers, this primitive site offers year-round adventure.

Coghill Lake Cabin offers a rare opportunity to experience the untouched beauty of the Chugach National Forest. Nestled on a lagoon along the southwest shore of Coghill Lake, this cabin serves as a serene basecamp within the Nellie Juan-College Fiord Wilderness Study Area. The area is renowned for its exceptional salmon fishing, making it a premier destination for anglers looking to escape into the Alaskan backcountry.

The terrain surrounding the cabin is rugged and wild, defined by the breathtaking landscapes of Prince William Sound. Because this is a primitive site, travelers must be prepared for a remote experience. Access is limited to floatplane or a challenging three-mile hiking trail that begins at the saltwater shoreline. While the location provides vault toilets, guests should plan for a rustic stay without modern hookups.

This destination is best suited for experienced outdoor enthusiasts, backcountry campers, and those seeking solitude in the heart of nature. Whether you are trekking the nearby trails or spending the day by the water, the cabin provides a unique, year-round retreat for those comfortable with self-sufficient wilderness living.
