About
Dry Wolf Cabin is a rustic Forest Service rental nestled along Dry Wolf Creek in the Little Belt Mountains of central Montana. The one-room cabin sleeps five and comes equipped with a woodstove for heat, propane lights and cook stove, plus dishes, pots, pans, and utensils. Firewood is provided in a nearby storage shed and must be restocked before departure. No potable water or electricity is available, so guests must pack in their own water supply. The cabin sits at 5,600 feet elevation approximately 20 miles southwest of Stanford. Dry Wolf Creek offers brook and rainbow trout fishing, while hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and OHV trails begin within a few miles. Cross-country skiing is popular in winter months. Bears frequent the area, and mandatory food storage in approved containers is required. The access road is graveled but requires four-wheel drive once snow accumulates. Pets are permitted outside the cabin only, leashed or kenneled, and all pet waste must be removed. The facility operates as pack-in/pack-out for trash. Check-out is 11:00 AM.
Directions
From Stanford, Montana, travel 1 mile northwest on US Highway 87 and turn left (south) onto Dry Wolf Road (County Road 251). Continue 15 miles and look for the Dry Wolf Station sign. Turn left onto the short spur into the cabin.
