About
Fremont Point Cabin is located on top of Winter Rim in North Central Lake County, Oregon, perched on the edge of an escarpment almost 3,000 feet above Summer Lake. The cabin was reconstructed in 2015 through donations of funding, materials, and volunteer labor, sitting on the same footprint as its predecessor which was destroyed in a 2002 forest fire. The location offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the valley below and the remoteness provides opportunities for personal reflection while watching weather patterns across Summer Lake. The cabin accommodates 3-4 people with one queen-size bed and one set of twin bunk beds, with room for additional sleeping arrangements that guests must provide. Inside amenities include a propane range top, refrigerator, several propane lamps, and a wood stove for heat with firewood available. The large two-sided deck provides ample room to sit, relax and enjoy the vistas. A vault toilet is located next to the cabin. Recreational opportunities include horseback riding, wildlife viewing and photography, mountain biking, OHV riding, hunting, fishing, and access to numerous trails including the Fremont National Recreation Trail and Oregon Timber Trail. The panoramic view from the edge of Winter Rim along the National Recreation Trail provides endless opportunities to view the valley below. A short hike west finds a different ecosystem with large ponderosa and lodgepole pine. Thirty minutes south are the headwaters for the Wild and Scenic Sycan River, accessible via the historic Hanan Trail.
