About Warm River Cabin

Warm River Cabin is located less than 20 miles from Ashton, Idaho, at Warm River Springs. An Idaho fish and game hatchery operated here from the 1930s to the 1950s. The cabin was formerly the hatchery manager's house. It was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1938. The cabin is open year-round and can be accessed by car in the warmer months. Snowmobiles and cross-country skis are required to access the cabin on a groomed trail from early December through mid-May. The trek from the nearest available parking at Bear Gulch Trailhead to the cabin is 6 miles. Guests should be prepared to bring much of their own gear and supplies to make their stay comfortable.

The spring is amazing. The cabin is ... it’s not rustic, it’s not quaint, it just feels abandoned and hence sorta creepy

This was the 10th year a group of old gray haired retired couples used Warm River Cabin as a late summer/early fall rest. So much beauty, so many things to do, and no mosquitos.
