Our one-night stay at Haskell Hut was superb. The trail was groomed perfectly for our ski in and out. We arrived late so only had the next day to explore after we checked out of the cabin. But along the way, we stopped at some of the frozen waterfalls close to the groomed trail, seeing an otter at one of the locations. A wide diversity of animal tracks in the snow, from moose to bobcat. Great winter fun.

Skied into big spring hut, trails were freshly groomed and beautiful. Big spring hut is nice and well equipped, but the wood stove barely is able to warm the hut. Ran the stove as hot as we could for 12+ hours and got it to about 38 degrees. Was prepared for the cold so not a big deal, but could be an issue for anyone expecting a cozy warm night.

Great experience. We were worried about being cold but the cabin was cozy once we got the stove going. Peaceful and serene. Lots of card games and exploring.

I had a pleasant 4 days. Only my 2nd time in the park so I took a couple hikes and paddled on the river. Mostly I was looking for a relaxing campground experience and found it! Very few people around considering it was a holiday weekend.

Lean to was very nice. Picnic table is broken down. Not really acceptable, since alot of hikers come through here and need a place to sit. Lean-to needs a broom and possibly a bear box? Privy was clean and well maintained.

The recreation app is superb! Easy to reserve and take advantage of these great resources. This lean to was perfect for our needs!
