This is a larger cabin than the Heckman Lake Cabin North, with there being a front room and back bed room. This cabin also features a nice deck and dock, and is handicap accessible with the ramps. According to Tom Bass, “This cabin is in great shape, there are a ton of activities on this lake and the larger cabin is great for multiple people.”

Other amenities include a table and benches, a cooking counter, broom, splitting maul, and outhouse. A wood stove is provided for heat. Bring your own firewood as it cannot be guaranteed. This cabin is designed to be barrier-free, with accessible boardwalks connecting the dock, cabin and outhouse. The boardwalk has an incline between 5 and 15 percent.
