## Overview

McKeever Cabin is located in the Hiawatha National Forest in Michigan's Upper
Peninsula, approximately 14 miles south of Munising, Michigan. The Cabin was
constructed in 1991 and overlooks the 132-acre McKeever Lake.  
  
While the facility offers little in the way of modern amenities, convenient
access to a number of recreational activities, including hunting, fishing,
hiking, mountain biking, swimming and cross-country skiing, make this cabin a
desirable destination for the outdoors enthusiast.  
  
During warmer months, visitors may park their vehicle and access the cabin by
foot via a 1,000 ft. trail. When snow is present, the cabin may be accessed by
snowshoe or cross-country skis via a 1-mile trail.

## Recreation

During winter months, visitors can enjoy the McKeever Hills Ski Trail, which
offers a quieter, less manicured alternative to highly groomed trails without
sacrificing quality. The trail to the cabin connects directly to the ski
trail, so visitors can ski right out the cabin door.  
  
The Bruno's Run Trail offers a 9 mile (14.48 km) loop ideal for hiking and
mountain biking in spring, summer and fall and snow shoeing in winter.
Although the trail is not groomed for cross-country skiing, it does offer a
suitable source for experienced skiers who prefer to break their own way.  
  
Seasonal activities also include swimming, canoeing, kayaking and fishing on
the lake as well as hunting in designated areas. See the Michigan Department
of Natural Resource's website for information about hunting seasons and
permits.

hardwood trees, overlooking the western shores of McKeever Lake. The lake was
stocked with northern muskie in 1990, but also supports a good population of
northern pike, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and bluegill.  
  
The Big Island Lake Wilderness is located near the cabin and features 23 small
lakes ranging in size from 5 to 149 acres. White birch, maple and aspen cover
the wooded hills that surround the lakes. Berries, mushrooms and wildflowers
grow throughout the area and a wide range of wildlife and waterfowl, including
