About May Creek Cabin

May Creek Cabin is located on the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail in western Montana. It was built by miners in the early 1900s and used by them for about 30 years. Hunters occupied it for about 30 years after that. The cabin went unused for nearly 30 years and was restored for public use in 1993. In 2011, more work was completed to enhance the quality and safety of the structure. Summer and fall months give visitors plenty of daylight and moderate temperatures to explore the surrounding meadows, peaks and valleys, as well as fish in plentiful mountain streams. The cabin can be accessed by driving to May Creek Campground and then hiking or skiing just over two miles, depending on conditions. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Everything was great, as usual. The propane lantern is acting up and I would probably replace it. I would emphasize to bring toilet paper.

The walk to the cabin was very unique in its own way! We had to wade through a stream to get there. Once we finally got to the cabin we set up our equipment to find that the beds were better than usual and the cabin was better than usual. We had fun roasting marshmallows over the fire, we would recommend this cabin to anyone.
