## Overview

Deadwood Lookout Recreation Cabin is a historic Forest Service fire lookout on
Deadwood Mountain. The structure provides sweeping panoramic views of the
surrounding forest, making this a unique place to overnight.  
  
  
  
At least two other lookouts have existed previously on Deadwood Mountain, but
the current one was built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. It was
actively used as a fire lookout until 1972. It has since become one of the
most popular rental cabins in Idaho.  
  
  
  
The peak season is late June through mid-October. Guests can drive to the
cabin, but high clearance vehicles are recommended for the dirt access road
because it is narrow, steep and winding.  
  
  
  
The cabin offers only a few basic amenities. Guests should be prepared to
bring most of what they need to make themselves comfortable, but the views of
the mountains by day and the stars at night guarantee a memorable and
rewarding experience.  

## Recreation

Hikers and mountain bikers have access to three nearby trails: Scott Mountain,
Julie Creek, and Nellie's Basin. The Deadwood Ridge Trail is a popular
destination for equestrians, hikers, mountain bikers, and off-road vehicle
enthusiasts.

## Facilities

This rustic cabin is a 14x14-ft. room equipped with two single beds with
mattresses that can be fastened together. A wood stove is available for
heating and cooking. A wood counter with shelf and a table with two chairs
complete the furnishings. A vault toilet, picnic table, and campfire ring are
located outside and below the lookout. The cabin is surrounded by an exterior
catwalk. No water, electricity or firewood is available. Guests must bring
their own water supply, as well as trash bags to pack out garbage. Bedding,
pillows, cookware, kitchen utensils, and tableware are not provided. Guests
are expected to clean the lookout before leaving. A broom and dustpan are
provided for this purpose.

## Natural Features

The cabin is perched atop Deadwood Mountain at an elevation of 7482 feet. A
variety of colorful wildflowers bloom around the base of the cabin in the
summer, and stands of conifers dot the landscape. Mornings bring unobstructed
views of sunrises. Guests can watch the sun set each evening and then gaze out
at an endless canopy of stars. Wildlife enthusiasts may spot elk, deer and
bear in the surrounding area. Bull moose have occasionally been spotted along
nearby trails. Guests may find swallows and other birds nesting just outside
the lookout. Guests can also expect to see various types of snakes, including
Gopher snakes, Garter snakes, Racer snakes, Bull snakes & Rattlesnakes,
especially when temperatures reach 70-82 degrees fahrenheit outside.
