East Fork Cabin offers a one-of-a-kind, rustic experience in the heart of Montana’s Bitterroot National Forest. Originally built before 1914 as a guard station for fire watchers, this historic cabin has been carefully restored and provides visitors with a unique opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of southwestern Montana. Whether you’re horseback riding, hiking, or simply looking to disconnect, the cabin serves as a basecamp for various outdoor adventures.

Located at an elevation of 4,500 feet, the East Fork Cabin sits near the East Fork of the Bitterroot River and provides access to a vast array of recreational activities. The cabin is open year-round, allowing horseback riders to explore the forest’s diverse trails, from open meadows to rugged mountain paths. In the warmer months, visitors can ride or hike through the beautiful Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness, a haven for wildlife such as elk, deer, mountain lions, moose, and bears. Keep in mind that during spring, the river can turn into fast-moving, dangerous waters—so caution is necessary.

East Fork Cabin’s rustic charm is enhanced by its history, but guests must bring many of their own supplies. While the cabin provides basic shelter, visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements, food, and other amenities to ensure a comfortable stay. The site’s simplicity and natural surroundings are part of its appeal, allowing campers to fully immerse themselves in the beauty and tranquility of Montana’s wilderness.
