Table Meadows Campground

## Overview

Walde Lookout Cabin was built in 1941 to house the employees who worked in the
adjacent fire lookout, which was built in 1939. The fire lookout is still in
use during the summer and fall, so the cabin is only available for rent from
approximately mid-December through late March. This charming, rustic cabin has
been restored to its original character.  
  
Guests must reach the cabin by snowmobile, skis or snowshoes. This is a trip
of around 17 miles, and guests are responsible for their own travel
arrangements and safety. The cabin provides a few conveniences, but guests
will need to bring some supplies and gear to make a cozy and comfortable
retreat for enjoying winter recreation.

## Recreation

Several trails crisscross the vicinity, ideal for snowmobiling, snowshoeing or
cross-country skiing. There are good places to sled nearby.

## Facilities

This 14x16-ft. log cabin accommodates four people with two mattresses located
in a loft area and two cots. A wood stove heats the cabin, which is also
equipped with a table and four chairs, a propane cook stove, propane lights,
basic cooking and eating utensils, smoke alarm, mop and bucket, fire
extinguisher and a snow shovel. Click here for additional cabin details.  
  
Firewood is available in a shed just outside. Toilet facilities consist of an
outhouse with a pit toilet. Guests should be prepared to shovel a path to the
cabin, shed and outhouse, as well as remove snow from the propane tank to turn
it on.  
  
There is no electricity or running water. Guests should bring their own
drinking water. Natural sources can also provide water, although it should be
boiled for culinary use. Garbage bags are also needed to pack out trash.  
  
Bedding, flashlights or lanterns, extra batteries, matches, first aid supplies
and toilet paper are not provided. Guests should remember to bring their
rental permit with them to the cabin.

## Natural Features

The cabin sits at an elevation of 5,220 feet on the watershed divide between
the Lochsa and Clearwater Rivers. This vantage point shows off the western
slopes of the vast Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness and the jagged peaks of the
Selway Crags. The cabin is surrounded by a dense evergreen forest.  
  
The winter landscape is blanketed in deep, pristine snow. Wildlife sightings
may include mule and white-tailed deer, elk, moose, gray wolf and cougar. A
variety of birds also inhabit the area.
