## Overview

The Antone Cabin, constructed in 1929, sits in a beautiful open meadow, at the
edge of a thick forest, providing visitors with a unique camping experience on
the southwestern end of the Snowcrest Mountain range. With it's end of the
road location, it's usually pretty quiet in the summer. The cabin opens for
use on July 1and stays open until December, and it is popular throughout the
rental season. The cabin is small and intended for 2 people.  
In addition to hunting access, the facility provides ample opportunities for
hiking, backpacking and horseback riding. The cabin lies within proposed
wilderness so snowmobiling and bicycling are not permitted off the main access
road, FS325. Snowmobile use, on the road, is only permitted after December 1.  
  
Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and
must bring several of their own amenities to really enjoy their stay at Antone
Cabin.

Antone Cabin is closed on Tuesdays for administrative purposes.

## Recreation

A variety of hiking, backpacking and horseback riding trails extend into the
Snowcrest Range, including the Snowcrest Trail, which covers the entire range,
providing panoramic views. The 40-mile trail can serve as the means for a
hearty horseback adventure, a lengthy backpacking trip, or make for several
day trips into the wilderness. Antone Peak is a popular day hike, about 2
miles away but more challenging than one might expect.  
  
The nearby Blacktail Deer Creek, and other seasonal mountain streams, offer
access to fishing. Anglers can enjoy a possible catch of brook or cutthroat
trout.

## Facilities

The cabin is a small, primitive, one-room log cabin, equipped with bunk beds
that sleep two people, a table and 2 chairs. The cabin has a loft, but it is
not available for public use, due to safety regulations.  
  
  
  
Also inside the cabin is a propane stove with an oven and 2 propane wall
lights supplied by the large tank outside. There is a wood stove for heat, a
shelf and cupboard space, cooking pots, eating utensils, a broom and dust pan,
bucket, shovel, axe and cleaning supplies. Foam pads are supplied on the beds.  
  
  
  
Outside there is a toilet approximately 100 feet southeast of the cabin.
Firewood is stacked near the outside fence , however the supply cannot be
guaranteed.  
  
  
  
Guests must bring their own water. The spring just west of the cabin may have
sufficient water for cleaning, but is unreliable, often dry by late summer.
Sleeping bags and blankets are not supplied, and users will also need to bring
their own matches, food, toilet paper and garbage bags. Garbage and cleaning
services are not provided.

There is a large horse pasture and smaller holding corral that renters may
use.

## Natural Features

The historic log cabin is located along the grassy foothills at the
southwestern end of the Snowcrest Range, at an elevation of 8,100 feet.
Together with the nearby Gravelly Range, the area is one of Montana's most
popular hunting grounds.

Nearby Antone Peak is a popular but challenging day hike and climb.  
  
The two mountain ranges are home to nearly 10,000 elk and a growing population
of grizzly bears (learn more about bear safety). Bears are sometimes seen near
the cabin. Moose are also frequent visitors to the meadow where the cabin
lies.

## Overview

The Bear Creek Bunkhouse allows visitors to experience southwestern Montana's
vast wilderness areas, including wide open hills and the Lee Metcalf Widerness
in the Madison mountain range . Situated on the Trail Fork of Bear Creek, the
cabin offers a scenic location to enjoy nature. The cabin was constructed in
1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps as crew quarters and a garage. A
larger cabin is located about 100 feet to the east and is also on the rental
progarm.  
  
The bunkhouse is used as an administrative site in the summer, but is open to
the public between December and April. During the winter months, visitors can
enjoy cross country skiing and snowshoeing, though the state lands to the
north of the cabin are closed to entry, being a Wildlife Management Area.  
  
The site can be accessed by vehicle, however, a portion of the road may be
muddy or snow-covered, as it is not always plowed. Visitors are responsible
for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their
own amenities, including water for drinking and cleaning.

## Recreation

Bear Creek is a very popular trailhead during all seasons but especially
during hunting season. There are a variety of hiking and horseback riding
trails in the area. This trailhead provides access to climb Sphinx Mountain, a
must-do for many visitors. The trails are popular among visitors for cross
country skiing and snowshoeing during the winter months.  
  
The nearby wilderness area does not allow motorized vehicles or bicycles.
Camping and fishing in the backcountry is allowed, with the proper permits.
The Bear Creek Wildlife Management Area immediately to the north of the cabin
is closed to all off-trail access, including foot traffic, between Dec. 2 and
May 15.

## Facilities

This one room cabin has electricity and lights as well as two single beds with
foam pads, which can accommodate up to two people. In addition to the beds,
there is a table with chairs, refrigerator, stove, oven, basic cooking
equipment and cleaning supplies.  
  
  
  
The cabin has a wood stove for heat and firewood is provided and stacked to
the east of the cabin. A rustic outhouse is located 150 feet east of the
bunkhouse, near the larger cabin. Two additional toilets are available at the
adjacent campground.  
  
  
  
Visitors need to bring their own water, including for cleaning; the creek is
the only source of water and may be difficult to access during the winter if
the snow is deep. Sleeping bags and blankets are not supplied, and users will
need to bring their own food, toilet paper and garbage bags. Garbage and
cleaning services are not provided.

There are no facilities for horses at the cabins or within the fenced cabin
area. There are hitchrails and corrals in the adjacent campground but they may
be occupied by the campsite users.  
  
  
  
Renters must clean the facility prior to departure, as well as replenish the
supply of split wood and kindling. We do our best to keep the firewood stocked
but the supply can not be guaranteed. Visitors may want to bring their own
wood, especially by March and April, and must supply their own wood for
campfires at all times.

## Natural Features

The facility is located at the edge of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness, at the foot
of the Madison Range. The bunkhouse is situated at an elevation of 6,250 feet,
amid open meadows that are surrounded by mature aspen and Douglas fir trees.  
  
Bear Creek runs just behind the bunkhouse and nearby cabin, and the Bear Creek
Wildlife Management Area (closed December 2 - May 15) lies immediately to the

## Overview

Bear Creek Campground is a First Come - First Served facility located at the
base of the western slope of the Madison Range in southwest Montana. It's part
of an administrative site that also includes the Bear Creek and Bear Creek
Bunkhouse rental cabins and a trailhead for entry to the Lee Metcalf
Wilderness Area. The small campground features 12 campsites, 6 on each side of
the creek. The six sites north of the creek include facilities for
horses/stock, while those south of the creek are non-horse use only. This is
the only campground on the west side of the Madison mountain range so it can
be expected to be crowded and busy during hunting season. There is very little
firewood available anywhere near the campground.

## Recreation

Hiking, horseback riding and hunting are very popular activities by visitors
to this campground and parking may be difficult to find during peak season.
The Middle Fork and Trail Fork trailhead is located only steps away. Because
the trails lead to designated Wilderness, no motorized or mechanized use is
allowed on the trails. The trailhead is the starting point for those climbing
Sphinx Mountain. From December 2 until noon of May 15, the Wildlife Management
Area just north of the campground is closed to all entry except to those who
stay strictly on the trail and are only passing through to Forest lands. It is
open for recreational use the remainder of the year.

## Facilities

The campground will be undergoing improvement installations in the
spring/early summer of 2023. Each campsite will have a parking site, picnic
table and fire ring. There are two centrally located water hydrants, with
water usually being available fro mid-May through September and a centrally
located bear box for food storage. There are two SST outhouses, one on each
side of the creek. Campsites 7 - 12, on the north side of the creek, are
equipped with hitchrails and corrals for horses. Horses are not permitted at
Campsites 1 - 6. Additional corrals are planned to be installed at the
trailhead but there may not be a corral guaranteed for each campsite.

## Natural Features

At the base of the Madison mountain range, the campground is situated in a
draw between hills on the edge of the National Forest. The Lee Metcalf
Wilderness is immediately to the east and a State wildlife management area to
the north. The trailhead, at the site, provides access to the Middle Fork and
Trail Fork trails, as well as access to ascend Sphinx Mountain, a prominant
peak in the range. Most campsites are shaded by Douglas fir and aspen trees.

## Nearby Attractions

The Lee Metcalf Wilderness is adjacent to the campground. The west entrance to
Yellowstone National Park is about 70 miles to the southeast. Lewis and Clark
State Caverns is about 60 miles to the north.

## Overview

Birch Creek Cabin is a historic log cabin with electricity. It provides access
to a variety of hiking, ohv, and for cross-country skiing and snowshoe trails
(depending on the season). A vaulted toilet lies 100' west of the cabin.  
  
Guests can typically access the cabin by vehicle, depending on conditions. The
roads leading to the cabin are gravel - but suitable for passenger cars
(depending on the season and snow levels). The final quarter-mile may be
covered with impassible snow during the winter, requiring skis, snowshoes or
snowmobile to complete the route. There is a reliable parking area just off of
the Birch Creek Road near the Thief Creek Bridge. Guests are responsible for
their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own
amenities.

## Recreation

An extensive network of hiking trails exists on the surrounding peaks and
valleys. Some lead to alpine lakes, which offer quality mountain fishing.
Grayling, cutthroat trout, brook trout and rainbow trout can all be found in
the mountain waters. There are two popular cross-country skiing and
snowshoeing trails adjacent to the cabin. The Birch Creek Loop and the May
Lake Ski Trail both traverse through the area. Old mining roads are plentiful
in the area, providing excellent opportunities for exploration on foot, bike,
ohv or horseback.

## Facilities

The two-room log cabin is equipped with bunkbeds and mattress pads that will
sleep up to four people. A separate kitchen has a table and chairs, an
electric cook stove, pots and pans and basic eating and cooking utensils.  
  
A wood stove is available inside the cabin for heat. Firewood is
provided,**but not guaranteed**. Please be conservative with wood, this will
help us maintain the supply for heating purposes. An axe is provide but do not
split wood inside the cabin or on the porch. Finally, if the wood supply is
low please call the Dillon Ranger District at (406) 683-3900 and leave a
message if calling outside of regular business hours.

An outhouse with a vault toilet is available outside the cabin. Drinking water
is unavailable at this time, sorry for any inconvenience.  
  
Guests will need to bring their own bedding, including blankets and pillows,
as well as matches, food, toilet paper, garbage bags and other necessities.
Wood may be available, but the supply cannot be guaranteed. Those staying at
the cabin during the winter months will need to bring their own water for
drinking, cooking and cleaning purposes.  
  
Guests are asked to clean the cabin and carry out all trash upon departure.  
  
There is no cell phone reception at the cabin. Limited cell phone coverage may
be obtained near the Forest Boundary to the east (carrier dependent).

## Natural Features

The cabin sits below a historic Civilian Conservation Corps work camp at the
confluence of Birch Creek and Thief Creek. It is situated on the eastern
slopes of the Pioneer Mountains in southwestern Montana, and was used as a
forest ranger station as early as 1908. A forested picnic area is nearby. An
abundance of wildlife live in the area, including elk, moose, deer, pine
marten, wolverine, northern goshawk, wolf, black bear and (rarely) grizzly
bear.

## Overview

Douglas Creek Cabin offers a great way to access the various seasonal
activities available in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest in western
Montana. While hunting enthusiasts enjoy the cabin during bow and rifle
seasons, it is popular for snowmobiling or cross-country skiing in the winter
and hiking in the summer. The cabin is in a very remote location, giving
anyone an outdoor recreational experience they will never forget.  
  
  
  
Access to the cabin is limited by weather conditions. Four-wheel drive is
necessary in the winter. Excessive snowfall and wind can prohibit any vehicle
from accessing the cabin and visitors will need to plan for cross-country
skiing or snowmobiling three or more miles. Guests are responsible for their
own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring their own amenities.  
  

## Recreation

Douglas Creek is a small stream at this location and does not support any
sizeable fish. Fishing is popular in any of the mountain lakes in the
vicinity, and many of them are stock by FWP. Access to the lakes will require
hiking or driving various distances. The area is home to a variety of trails
for hiking, but there are no designated trails near the cabin. A big game
winter range and elk calving grounds are nearby, offering great wildlife
viewing potential. Hunting for deer, elk and upland game birds is popular in
the area.  
  
  
  
Guests also enjoy snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing in the
surrounding areas during the winter.

## Facilities

matches are usually available but cannot be guaranteed. Guests will need to
bring water for cooking, cleaning, and drinking, bedding, personal items,
propane, specialty cooking items, headlamps, batteries, matches/lighter,
paper, garbage bags, and food.

Please do not burn garbage in the woodstove. Newspaper and cured firewood

Cell phone service is usually available at the cabin, gaining elevation
improves service.

## Natural Features

The rustic, remotely located cabin is adjacent to Douglas Creek, in the north
end of the Flint Creek Range. It is situated in a grassy meadow, surrounded by
mature evergreen trees. The cabin was built in the 1960s and was used as an
administrative location for crews working in the area.  
  
  
  
The small and narrow Douglas Creek runs about 50 feet from the cabin through
the cabin site.  
  
  
  
The Flints have abundant wildlife near the cabin, and it is not uncommon to
see moose, deer, elk, mountain lions, or bears(grizzly and black). The area is
popular for hunting of deer, elk and blue grouse. Dozens of alpine lakes in
the range provide good fishing.
