Peterson Lake Cabin

Everything we needed and expected was there, for a comfortable and cozy stay, though we were sad not to find a log book. Not a remarkable cabin site, among the many great ones in this area, but lovely nonetheless.

The trail is not marked. could not find the path through fresh snow.
no reflectors, or flags, as is done in other trails. only a single way-plaque.

trail drainage is poor, water runs along the trail, and not off of it.
ice is not visible under the snow...

Great, cozy cabin with convenient fishing and gorgeous views. Beware the muskeg holes near the cabin (there's one in the trail beside the lake) and across the lake in the meadows.
You may also want to bring an oar or kayak paddle if you intend to use the provided skiff; our last visit revealed only one present oar, which made paddling a he lake in a breeze exceptionally difficult-not impossible, but difficult.

My friends and I hiked to this cabin on the first weekend in April. We were post holing for the way out and did our best to clear some snow from the boardwalks to make our hike out (and future hikers) a little easier/safer. We almost missed the river crossing despite helpful sticks pointing in an arrow but made it to the cabin in one piece. Due to the post holes, our feet were wet but the propane heater was awesome and dried out socks and boots as we waited for the second half of our party to arrive. We were able to play card games and have dinner and breakfast cozy in the cabin. No issues with the stove, which we use a Dura-log in, or the propane heater. Would love to go back in the summer to use more of the lake!
