habitat for a wide range of wildlife. Visitors may catch glimpses of mule
deer, elk, bald and golden eagles and a variety of woodpeckers and owls.

## Overview

Cottonwood Cabin is located in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Entiat
Ranger District in central Washington's Entiat Valley, on the banks of the
Entiat River at an elevation of 3,100 feet. Constructed in the 1940s as
administrative housing, the facility and on-site barn and corral were used
seasonally by Forest Service fire, trail and campground crew personnel.  
  
Today the cabin offers visitors a wonderful setting for recreation and
relaxation from June through October in the forested mountain terrain of the
Entiat Ranger District. The cabin can be reached by standard passenger
vehicles over gravel roads.

## Recreation

Guests at Cottonwood Cabin will find that the surrounding area offers
opportunities to hike, fish, mountain bike and enjoy a long list of outdoor
recreational activities throughout the year.  
  
Anglers will enjoy casting a line into the Entiat River above Entiat Falls.
The cabin is located four miles above the falls. Carving through a wide,
U-shaped valley, the river is dominated by relatively shallow riffles
interspersed with pools, plunge pools and glides where the trout fishing is
quite good. Populations of rainbow trout, Cutthroat trout, and Eastern brook
trout are found in this tributary. Selective gear rules apply to fishing in
the Entiat River. See Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for fishing
rules and regulations.

## Facilities

The one room cabin (20' x 16') can accommodate four people at a time.
Amenities include hot and cold running water (summer months only), propane
cook stove, wall heater, and indoor lights. Furnishings include a dining
table, chairs, futon sofa that converts to a double bed, and a separate double
bed. The small kitchen area is supplied with basic pots, pans, silverware and
plates. Outdoors, a private shower facility with hot and cold water, picnic
table, campfire ring, and vault toilet are provided. An area for pitching one
tent is also on site. Wood may be available, but the supply cannot be
guaranteed. Guests must bring several of their own amenities as the cabin does
not provide a refrigerator for food, sleeping bags/bedding, towels, dish soap,
matches, a first aid kit, or garbage bags. The light system is solar powered.
Although lighting is provided, visitors are encouraged to bring additional
light sources. Cabin water is provided by pressurized solar water for summer
months.

the cabin is home to abundant wildlife, including mule deer, cougars, native
fish, black bears, pine marten, moose, bald and golden eagles and a variety of

## Nearby Attractions

The Silver Falls National Recreation Trail is a 1.8 mile hike beneath towering
cedar and pines, along Silver Creek to the base of Silver Falls. Along the
way, hikers are treated to views of the 141-foot cascade, as well as the
Entiat valley below, and the mountains above. Beautiful stone staircases and
bridges along the trail offer many stopping points to take the perfect
photograph.  
  
At Entiat River Road mile marker 27.8 is Box Canyon. This geological formation
is about 65 million years in the making and the chasm spans a run of about 500
feet and ranges from 75-150 ft. deep. Fish Tail Falls can be observed from the
view point running over, under and through a pile of large boulders, cascading
another 15 feet. At times you can see salmon in this pool.  
  
At mile marker 32.2 on Entiat River Road is Entiat Falls. This broad 25 foot
cascading natural waterfall makes quite a rejuvenating impression. Bring a
picnic lunch or just stretch your legs and enjoy. Take precaution as river
rock can be very slick.  
  
Cooper's Store and Cafe in Ardenvoir is approximately 28 miles down valley and
is the nearest source of gasoline, groceries, miscellaneous camping supplies
and telephone services.

At Entiat River Road mile marker 27.8 is Box Canyon. This geological formation is about 65 million years in the making and the chasm spans a run of about 500 feet and ranges from 75-150 ft. deep. Fish Tail Falls can be observed from the view point running over, under and through a pile of large boulders, cascading another 15 feet. At times you can see salmon in this pool.
 
At mile marker 32.2 on Entiat River Road is Entiat Falls. This broad 25 foot cascading natural waterfall makes quite a rejuvenating impression. Bring a picnic lunch or just stretch your legs and enjoy. Take precaution as river rock can be very slick.
 
Cooper's Store and Cafe in Ardenvoir is approximately 28 miles down valley and is the nearest source of gasoline, groceries, miscellaneous camping supplies and telephone services.
