Visitors can relax on the front porch and enjoy the tranquil surroundings from mid-April to the beginning of December. Recreation The South Fork National Recreational Trail can be accessed one and a half miles up the road from the cabin, or from the Scott Flat Campground when conditions permit crossing the swinging footbridge.
