The cabin is awesome, but the second half of the trail is a mess.

Everything we needed and expected was there, for a comfortable and cozy stay, though we were sad not to find a log book. Not a remarkable cabin site, among the many great ones in this area, but lovely nonetheless.

My friends and I hiked to this cabin on the first weekend in April. We were post holing for the way out and did our best to clear some snow from the boardwalks to make our hike out (and future hikers) a little easier/safer. We almost missed the river crossing despite helpful sticks pointing in an arrow but made it to the cabin in one piece. Due to the post holes, our feet were wet but the propane heater was awesome and dried out socks and boots as we waited for the second half of our party to arrive. We were able to play card games and have dinner and breakfast cozy in the cabin. No issues with the stove, which we use a Dura-log in, or the propane heater. Would love to go back in the summer to use more of the lake!
