Overview
Wall Creek Cabin is a small dwelling that gives guests access to prime elk and deer viewing, as access is through a state Wildlife Management Area. It is typically open to the public from mid-May through November, offering ample opportunity to explore southwestern Montana. The facility was a ranger station until the 1940s. There are three log buildings at the site, including the small rental cabin, a barn and a main "Ranger" cabin. The barn and main cabin are used by grazing permit holders. Only the smaller cabin is available for public use. Though usually quiet, there may be work activity associated with grazing management, with cowboys, horses and dogs living at the site and their days often start early. The site can easily be accessed by vehicle and is open during late spring through early fall. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Natural Features
The cabin is located on the edge of the Madison River Valley and the Gravelly Mountains at an elevation of 6,150 feet. It sits in an open, grassy area backed by
forested slopes.
Recreation
Big game hunting is by far the most popular activity enjoyed by visitors to the cabin. The area and surrounding wilderness is thick with wildlife. Hunters must have appropriate licensure to hunt in the state of Montana, and hunting is only allowed in designated areas. Wildlife viewing is popular, as animals often come near the cabin. Hunters often walk through the site to access a trail behind the cabin and barn.
A variety of hiking and horseback riding trails are available in the area, as well as trails for off-road vehicles. Trailhead access is about a mile north of the cabin on Hyde Creek.
