Moose Creek Cabin

The BLM built the original Moose Creek Cabin in 1986 as the agency began developing a cabin and trail system in the White Mountains. In June 2014, the BLM replaced the old cabin with a new 16 ft x 16 ft cabin that will sleep up to six persons. The new location offers nice views south into the Washington Creek drainage from the top of a forested ridge. Views of the Alaska Range can be seen to the south, and the White Mountains to the north. Cabins are equipped with bunk beds, a table and benches, cook stove, lantern, fire extinguisher, saw, ax, broom, wood stove and outhouse.

Renters need to bring fuel for the lanterns and cook stoves. BLM converted from white gas to propane cook stoves and lanterns, so make sure to bring the proper fuel! Carry extra lantern mantles (clip-on tube style) or candles in case the lanterns don't function properly. Cabin users should be prepared to cut firewood or bring some with them. Other recommended items to bring include maps and compass, matches, sleeping bag and pad, extra food items and water, and warm clothing.
