## Overview

The Barber Flat Cabin site was established for administrative use by the
Forest Service in 1923, and was used prior to that by the Barber Lumber
Company. At the time, the Forest Service used a cabin already on-site as a
guard station and then built a new one in 1927. The current cabin and
outbuildings were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935, and the
cabin today looks much as it did back then.  
  
Guests can drive to Barber Flat Cabin in two-wheel drive passenger cars or
trucks, although the roads may occasionally be rough. The cabin provides most
of the conveniences needed for a comfortable stay.

## Recreation

Several multi-use trails run east and west from the cabin. Hikers and mountain
bikers can access the Barber Flat Trailhead nearby, and the Hungarian/Sunset
Trail is located just across the road about 200 yards north of the cabin.
Other trails in the area include the Beaver Creek/Grand Mountain Trail and the
Short Creek Trail, which is known as a haven for nesting ospreys.  
  
The river offers great rainbow trout fishing and many swimming holes. Seasonal
big game hunting is another popular pastime in the surrounding area.

## Overview

The Beaver Creek Cabin site was established for administrative use in 1912.
The current dwelling was built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps
using standard blueprints for that time.  
  
Beaver Creek Cabin is open year-round. It's accessible by car in the summer
months and by snowshoes or cross-country skis in winter. Guests arriving in
winter should park at the Whoop-Um-Up Park N' Ski Area (permit required) and
access the 1.5 mile Pilgrim Trail to reach the cabin. The trail is moderately
difficult in normal conditions, and guests are responsible for their own
safety.  
  
The cabin offers many creature comforts for an enjoyable stay. However,
several of the amenities are only available seasonally. Guests should be
prepared to bring certain supplies or gear according to the season.

## Overview

This site was originally established as Deer Park Ranger Guard Station in
1913, and a cabin was built here in 1917. This cabin, along with many others
in Boise National Forest, was replaced in the 1930s by the Civilian
Conservation Corps. Deer Park Cabin looks much the same today as it did in the
1930s.  
  
The cabin is available from mid-May through late September, and it's easily
accessible by car in good weather. Many creature comforts are provided, but
guests may need to bring additional gear and supplies to have a comfortable
and enjoyable stay.

## Recreation

leads hikers upstream. The 5-mile trail passes through some of the roughest,
most scenic canyon walls in Idaho before dipping down to the river's edge to
pass by a rock bluff.  
  
Horse Heaven Trail begins about a mile from the cabin and connects with the
Swanholm/Warrior Trails. All these trails are open to hikers, horseback
riders, mountain bikers, dirt bikers and motorcyclists, although some of the
sections of the trail may be particularly difficult for motorcycles. Click

The river flows across the road from the cabin, offering good rainbow trout
fishing after about July 1st. Big game hunting is also a popular pastime in
the area.
