About Fleecer Station

Overview

Fleecer Cabin is popular for hunters and hikers during the summer and fall months. It is not far from Butte, giving locals a respite from everyday life; however, a variety of recreational opportunities await every guest.

The cabin was built in 1924 and has been used as headquarters for Forest Service crews ever since. It is available between May 1st and January 3rd each year, and could be closed at any time for administrative use.

The cabin can be accessed by vehicle; however, during fall months, alternative resources may be required to reach the cabin. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Recreation

Hunting in designated areas is a popular activity, as wildlife is abundant. Fishing is also a possibility in any of the nearby mountain creeks and streams. The Big Hole River is just minutes away and is best known for its trophy-class trout fishing.

There is a variety of hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding trails that are easily accessed from the cabin into the surrounding forest. Off-road vehicles and motorcycles are also allowed in the area, but must be properly permitted and licensed to be on trails and roads. Access to the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail is located 1 mile from the cabin.

Facilities

The 3-room cabin is well-equipped, with electricity, heat and cold running water. Two bedrooms contain beds and mattresses to accommodate up to 5 people. The kitchen
provides table and chairs, an electric cook stove and refrigerator. The bathroom has a flush toilet, sink and shower with cold water only.

A variety of supplies are provided within the cabin, including dishes, eating and cooking utensils, pots and pans, a broom, dust pan and other cleaning equipment
and supplies. Ample cupboard space is available.


Guests will need to bring their own bedding, pillows, towels, and soap. Garbage bags are needed to pack out trash, and guests are asked to clean the cabin prior
to leaving. Cell phone service is minimal in the area. 

Please remember that Fleece Station is considered a recreational area and shooting is not permitted around the cabin and on the surrounding private property
