Castle River Cabin

* Closed due to outhouse damage from winter windfall. We are actively working on repairing the issues and all impacted reservations will be fully refunded. The Castle River modified A-frame style cabin has a wood stove, 2 double bunks, a loft, woodshed, axe/maul, wooden table and benches, counter, deck and pit-type outhouse. Bedding, and cooking utensils are not provided. Firewood is provided for wood stove use only, but is not guaranteed. The area near the cabin is predominantly flat to rolling with muskeg and old growth forest. Firewood is generally available, but not guaranteed. Firewood is for heating the cabin only, not for outdoor campfires.
