This cabin, along with many others in Boise National Forest, was replaced in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Deer Park Cabin looks much the same today as it did in the 1930s. The cabin received an upgrade in 2018. The cabin is available from mid-May through late September, and it's easily accessible by car in good weather. Many creature comforts are provided, but guests may need to bring additional gear and supplies to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Natural Features: Deer Park cabin is located in an open meadow lined with mature Ponderosa pines at an approximate elevation of 4,400 feet.
