MOUNTAIN VIEW

## 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

The North Fork Boise River Trail, which begins directly behind the cabin,
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.

<h2>Overview</h2>
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.
<br/><br/>
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.<h2>Recreation</h2>
The North Fork Boise River Trail, which begins directly behind the cabin, 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.
<br/><br/>
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. <a href="http://www.recreation.gov/marketing.do?goto=/safety.htm" rel="nofollow">Click here </a> for an Idaho OHV Safety Message.

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.<h2>Facilities</h2>

## 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.

bear in the surrounding area. Bull moose have occasionally been spotted along
nearby trails. Guests may find swallows and other birds nesting just outside
