About Deer Park Cabin

This site was originally established as Deer Park Ranger Guard Station in 1913, and a cabin was built here in 1917. This cabin, along with many others in Boise National Forest, was replaced in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Deer Park Cabin looks much the same today as it did in the 1930s. Guests can drive to Deer Park Cabin in two-wheel drive passenger cars or trucks, although the roads may occasionally be rough. Many creature comforts are provided, but guests may need to bring additional gear and supplies to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

What Guests Are Saying

The Deer Park Cabin is well-maintained, though dismounting from the top bunks can be challenging. Enhancements like a push broom and improved trail separation could improve the experience. Overall, it is a peaceful and beautiful location, with commendable efforts by the Boise National Forest team.
