The original Wolf Run Cabin burned in a wildland fire in 2005 and was replaced with a larger cabin in 2006. The cabin site offers spectacular views of the White Mountains with jagged limestone cliffs and peaks. The 12 ft x 16 ft cabin will accommodate up to 6 persons comfortably.
Cabins are equipped with bunk beds, a table and benches, cook stove, fire extinguisher, saw, ax, broom, wood stove and outhouse.
Renters need to bring propane for the cook stoves. Cabin users should be prepared to cut firewood or bring some with them. Other recommended items to bring include maps and compass, lanterns, matches, sleeping bag and pad, extra food items and water, and warm clothing.
Access to the cabin is closed to summer motorized use May 1 through October 14. It is approximately a 1-mile hike from Beaver Creek Wild and Scenic River in the summer and a great place to visit while on a river float trip.
