About Mckeever Cabin

McKeever Cabin is located in the Hiawatha National Forest in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, approximately 14 miles south of Munising, Michigan. The Cabin was constructed in 1991 and overlooks the 132-acre McKeever Lake. While the facility offers little in the way of modern amenities, convenient access to a number of recreational activities, including hunting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, swimming and cross-country skiing, make this cabin a desirable destination for the outdoors enthusiast. During warmer months, visitors may park their vehicle and access the cabin by foot via a 1,000 ft. trail. When snow is present, the cabin may be accessed by snowshoe or cross-country skis via a 1-mile trail.

This was a great weekend at McKeever cabin. Got to explore more of the Hiawatha National Forest and go fishing on McKeever llake with my new inflatable boat and my beagles. Early May was still cold so I got to try out the wood stove to stay warm and prepare a meal on the stove.

We had a great experience at the cabin! There was a little confusion at first about which path to take once you park. When driving in you pass a gate - this is the path to the cabin. You can't park there so you drive a little further to where you park. We just dropped our gear at the gate, then parked. If you have room to bring a wagon, it will make life easier as others have noted. The toilet was well stocked with TP, the wood shed has a good stock of wood along with an axe to split if needed. The lake bottom is sand (despite the black stuff - it is very thin).
