About Wurtz Cabin

Wurtz Cabin is located just south of the Canadian border, on the North Fork Road near the North Fork of the Flathead River. It is listed on the National Historic Register, offering guests a glimpse into the past. It provides access to a variety of recreational activities, including hiking, boating, fishing and viewing wildlife. The cabin can accommodate up to 12 people and is fully accessible. It can be accessed by vehicle, however the North Fork Road is gravel and only intermittently plowed in the winter. Four-wheel drive and chains are recommended for passage during winter months. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities. The majority of the road from Columbia Falls to Wurtz Cabin is gravel, so be prepared for dust during your drive and at the cabin.

There was a pack rat in the ceiling that was loud and terrorizing us. Other guests have complained about it in the journals. Maybe need to trap it!

I love Wurtz! This was my second stay. The first stay was a little better, this time there were a ton of mice.

We loved staying at the historic Wurtz Cabin! It was a peaceful place from which to explore the North Fork portion of Glacier National Park, and the history of the cabin itself is fantastic. We loved reading about the challenges of Frank and Ella Wurtz as they established their homestead and looking at the family pictures on the walls. We hiked to the Thoma Lookout and didn’t see another person on the trail, and we loved cooling off in the river each afternoon. We saw a wide variety of birds from the cabin porch, including a Western Tanager and a Bald Eagle. This is a very special place, and we’re so thankful to the Forest Service for preserving and sharing it!
