About
Upper Paradise Lake Cabin offers an extremely secluded wilderness experience in south-central Alaska's Chugach National Forest. Perched at 1,340 feet elevation on the western shore of Upper Paradise Lake, this alpine cabin sits in a forest of alder and willow with scenic mountain views. The only access is by floatplane, taking approximately 15 minutes from Moose Pass or Seward. The rustic log cabin sleeps up to 6 people (maximum occupancy 8) and is equipped with a wood stove for heat, an outhouse, table and benches, counter space, and a rowboat with oars. A handsaw and splitting maul are provided for firewood processing. The cabin does not have running water, electricity, bedding, or cooking utensils. There is no fresh water source nearby, so visitors must bring all drinking, cooking, and cleaning water or treat water from streams and the lake. The rowboat provides excellent fishing opportunities for grayling in the lake. Hunting is popular during designated seasons, with the area home to moose, black and brown bears, sheep, and mountain goats. While no maintained trails exist, day hikes offer spectacular views of Wolverine Glacier in the Kenai Mountains. Wild berries ripen from late summer through fall.
