Notch Cabin

Notch Cabin is about 62 mi from Ennis, Montana. The final 28 mi are gravel, dirt or primitive two-track. From Ennis, take Montana Highway 287 west for 23 mi to Alder. At Alder, turn south toward Ruby Reservoir (County 248) and travel 21 mi. Turn right on Ledford Creek Road (County 50) and travel southwest for 3 mi to signed junction. Turn right onto Robb Creek road and after about 4.5 mi, you'll enter the Robb-Ledford WMA. Continue for 0.5 mi to junction, turn right and travel for 5 mi. At that point, the Springbrook road joins in from the west. Continue south toward the mountains and cross Robb Creek after about 3.5 mi. One half mile farther, you'll reach the Forest boundary, then another mile to the cabin. The route is signed at the junctions. Driving time from Ennis is about 2.5 hours, with the last 9 mi taking over an hour.

As an alternative route, travel south from Alder for 14 mi and turn onto Sweetwater Road toward Dillon. Travel almost 9 mi and turn left onto Springbrook Road. This 2-track road will connect with the Robb Creek Road after about 12 mi. Follow Robb Creek directions from there. This route is not signed, other than the Springbrook/Sweetwater junction and there will be gates to open and close. See Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest-South map for details.
