The Johnson Fire increased the likelihood of debris flows and the potential
for burned trees to fail during rain or wind events. Hikers ALWAYS assume
risks when entering trails in natural areas, but in burned areas those risks
are greater. Your safety is in your hands!

Below are some tips for minimizing your exposure to natural hazards.

  * Risks in burned areas include falling trees and limbs, uneven/unstable ground full of holes from burned root systems, falling rocks, difficulty navigating through sections of trail, and possible landslides, debris flows, and flash floods. These are elevated during high winds, and during and after heavy rains and winter storms.

## Overview

East Fork Cabin offers visitors a unique chance to camp in the Bitterroot
National Forest of southwestern Montana. The cabin takes visitors back to a
rustic, old-time setting and provides access to a variety of recreational
opportunities on public lands. The site is available year-round and offers
additional camping areas to accommodate large groups. An adjacent picnic area
and pavillion provides a convenient location for everyone to gather. The cabin
can be accessed by vehicle, however during winter months (October through
April), alternative resources may be required to reach the cabin. The road is
plowed up to three-quarters of a mile from the cabin. Guests are responsible
for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their
own amenities.

## Recreation

Fishing is popular in the nearby river. A variety of trout, including brown,
rainbow, cutthroat and brook, can be found in the area between Sula and
Conner. Winter fishing for whitefish is popular and productive, as the river
is closed to trout fishing during the colder months. The catch along the East
Fork is fairly evenly divided between bait, spin and fly fishermen.  
  
The surrounding hills and valleys are popular for hiking, backpacking and
horseback riding in the summer and fall. Cross country skiing, snowshoeing and
snowmobiling can be enjoyed in the area during the winter (learn more about
avalanche safety). Winter sports enthusiasts can enjoy more than 50 miles of
groomed trails, along with a number of unmarked trails that are open for
recreation.
