About Racetrack Cabin

Racetrack Cabin is a rustic one room log cabin located along Racetrack Creek in the Flint Range of western Montana, near the Continental Divide. The cabin is remotely located and was built to house miners in the 1930s. It was later donated to the Forest Service and refurbished for use by the public. Guests will be in for a true remote cabin experience with plenty of opportunities for exploration and no distractions from cellular or internet service. There are several motorized and non-motorized trails in the area that lead to scenic lake basins and sweeping views of the surrounding area. Some of the lakes and streams in the area offer excellent fishing. **Access to the cabin requires a vehicle with high clearance in the summer months and over the snow travel in the winter months.** This is an **extremely primitive forest road**, be prepared to deal with ruts, downed trees and washouts.…
