The Deadman Lake Trail is open to hiking and horses, and is 8.5 miles long. Drinking water is not provided. Fishing for rainbow trout in the reservoir. Mountain biking on nearby roads and trails (but not on wilderness trails!). Near the campground, a rustic , 75-year old guard cabin is available from June – March (or until snow melts). The cabin features a wood stove for heat and propane cook stove and refrigerator, an outdoor toilet, but no hot water or shower. There is cold water seasonally, but it gets turned off in the winter. Cabin sleeps four in two bunk beds. Snowmobile access in winter. Five people are permitted to camp outside the cabin. Other amenities in the cabin include basic pots and pans, mattresses but no linens, table and chairs, and cleaning supplies. Maximum RV length 25 feet.
