Big game hunting is also possible in the area. Northwest Peaks Scenic Area, which is located in the very northwest corner of the Yaak Area, offers several hiking trails. Equestrian trails are near the cabin. Winter brings skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing opportunities for all experience levels.

Upper Ford (Yaak)

This USFS Cabin rental is perfect for families! The cabin is a former ranger house and is located right next to the river, with horse stalls and plenty of space for parking. Hiking trails, fishing, and great swimming holes are very close by. The cabin is along a road, but traffic isn't a concern as the USFS in the Kootenai aren't busy any time of the year. I believe you can only rent by calling the Kootenai National Forest (Troy District).
