Fleecer Station

1820 Meadowlark Lane

Driving directionsFrom Butte, travel south on Interstate 15 for 15 miles. Take the Feely exit (no. 111) and turn west on Forest Road 96. Continue about 3 miles to Forest Road 447, turn left and travel about 2 miles to the cabin. The access road is on private land and the gate must remain closed and locked.
The access road is generally accessible by vehicle, but during fall and winter weather conditions, alternative methods such as ski, snowshoe, ATV, or snowmobile may be required. By January, the road becomes drifted over in snow, making driving impossible and necessitating walking or skiing approximately 0.5 miles to the cabin.
Nearby places
Butte is approximately 15 miles away.
