## Overview

Birch Creek Cabin is a historic log cabin with electricity. It provides access
to a variety of hiking, ohv, and for cross-country skiing and snowshoe trails
(depending on the season). A vaulted toilet lies 100' west of the cabin.  
  
Guests can typically access the cabin by vehicle, depending on conditions. The
roads leading to the cabin are gravel - but suitable for passenger cars
(depending on the season and snow levels). The final quarter-mile may be
covered with impassible snow during the winter, requiring skis, snowshoes or
snowmobile to complete the route. There is a reliable parking area just off of
the Birch Creek Road near the Thief Creek Bridge. Guests are responsible for
their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own
amenities.

## Recreation

An extensive network of hiking trails exists on the surrounding peaks and
valleys. Some lead to alpine lakes, which offer quality mountain fishing.
Grayling, cutthroat trout, brook trout and rainbow trout can all be found in
the mountain waters. There are two popular cross-country skiing and
snowshoeing trails adjacent to the cabin. The Birch Creek Loop and the May
Lake Ski Trail both traverse through the area. Old mining roads are plentiful
in the area, providing excellent opportunities for exploration on foot, bike,
ohv or horseback.
