About the Campground
The North Fork Boise River Trail starts right behind Deer Park cabin and leads you upstream. About 1/2 mile upriver the trail passes through some of the roughest, most scenic canyon walls in Idaho. The trail then dips down to the river's edge to pass a rock bluff. The North Fork provides good fishing after the spring runoff (about July 1.) Deer Park cabin does not have indoor plumbing or electricity. The kitchen has a propane stove, refrigerator, sink (remember no indoor water), and a table and chairs. An outhouse is located near the cabin and a water pump (with potable water) is in a building to the right of the cabin. There is a futon and two sets of bunk beds in the living room. A woodstove is provided for heating and firewood can be gathered in the surrounding forest. An established campfire ring is located in the parking area out front. The cabin is located about 37 miles Northeast of Idaho City. From Idaho City, take Highway 21 for 18 miles to Crooked River-Little Owl Road #384. Turn right and stay on Road #384 for 13.5 miles to North Fork Boise River Road #327. Turn left on Road #327 and drive upstream for 5 miles to Hunter Creek Road #348. Go straight ahead on Road #348 for 1/4 mile where you will see a meadow in front of you and a lower standard road turning off to the right to the right. This road will lead you to Deer Park Cabin, about 300 yards in. The cabin has a wooden fence around it; you may open the rail gate tot let yourself in. The unpaved roads are graded and are generally in good, yet somewhat rough, condition. They can be traveled in good weather by two wheel drive passenger cars or trucks. This cabin will accomodate 6 people only. No groups larger than 6 people are allowed at the cabin or within the cabin yard area. No tents, motor homes or trailers are allowed at this site.
