## 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.

## Facilities

The cabin can sleep six people on two futons and one bunkbed. The kitchen is
equipped with a table and chairs, cookware, dishes, utensils, a propane stove,
refrigerator and sink with hot water. The bathroom has a sink, bathtub and
flush toilet.  
  
A wood stove is provided for heat and firewood may be gathered from the
surrounding forest. A picnic table and campfire ring with benches are located
outside. Limited bear-proof trash recepticles are located at the back of the
cabin. Please be mindful and try to pack-out as much as you are able to.  
  
The cabin has no electricity, so please plan accordingly and bring your own
light sources. Bedding, pillows and towels are not provided.

Guests are asked to please use provided cleaning supplies to clean the cabin
upon checkout.

## Natural Features

Barber Flat Cabin is situated near the North Fork Boise River among towering
Ponderosa pines at an elevation of about 4,300 feet. The cabin is surrounded
by the Boise Mountains and tucked beneath Hungarian Ridge.  
  
Osprey nests are a common sight around Barber Flat. Visitors to this area may
see other wildlife, such as mule deer, Rocky Mountain elk, chukars, wild
turkeys, eagles and the occasional black bear or wolf.

## 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.  
  

## Recreation

Numerous hiking, biking, horse, off-road vehicle and motorcycle trails are in
the vicinity. Click here  for an Idaho OHV Safety Message. During the winter
months, miles of cross-country ski and snowshoe trails are right out the front
door.  
  
The Crooked River, Beaver Creek and beaver ponds all offer good rainbow, brook
and cutthroat trout fishing. The 1-mile Beaver Creek Trail leads to the
Crooked River and several small swimming holes.  
  
Good hunting can be found in this area in season.

## Facilities

The cabin can accommodate a maximum of four people with two twin beds with
mattresses and one futon in the living room (bedding not provided). The
kitchen is equipped with a sink, table, chairs, propane oven, and propane
fridge (summer months only). A picnic table and campfire ring are located
outside. Limited bear-proof trash recepticles are located at the back of the
cabin (summer months only). Please be mindful and try to pack-out as much as
you are able to.

A wood stove provides heat. Be prepared to collect firewood during the summer
months. Firewood is available November- April in the woodshed. Be prepared to
split your own wood.  
  
The indoor bathroom is open in the summer and equipped with a sink, flush

<h2>Overview</h2>
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.
<br/><br/>
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.
<br/><br/>
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.<br/><br/><h2>Recreation</h2>
Numerous hiking, biking, horse, off-road vehicle and motorcycle trails are in the vicinity. <a href="http://www.recreation.gov/marketing.do?goto=%2Fsafety.htm" rel="nofollow">Click here </a> for an Idaho OHV Safety Message. During the winter months, miles of cross-country ski and snowshoe trails are right out the front door.

The Crooked River, Beaver Creek and beaver ponds all offer good rainbow, brook and cutthroat trout fishing. The 1-mile Beaver Creek Trail leads to the Crooked River and several small swimming holes.
