## Overview

The Todd Family began building Deer Creek Cabin in 1953 and finished it in
1960. They used it as a retreat while they grazed cattle on federal lands in
the summer and hunted in the fall. The cabin has survived two forest fires.

The cabin is open year-round, but access is challenging. There are three
routes to the cabin that can be used by equestrians, hikers and ATVs in the
summer. During the winter, by snowshoes, skis and snowmobiles. Snowmobilers
will need to park their trailers down low on the Iron Mountain Road, keeping
the road passable for others. These trails will be marked as to uses. These 4-
to 5-mile routes may ford creeks, with creek depths varying from 6 inches to
several feet, in the spring.  
  
  
  
Some basic conveniences are provided, but guests will need to bring most of
their own amenities to ensure a comfortable stay.

## Recreation

There are numerous trails around the cabin that provide opportunities for
exploration. Experienced cross-country skiers and snowshoers will find a
challenging winter landscape.
