The Sweetwater Cabin is located at the end of an old logging trail, over 1-mile behind a locked gate that is shared only by Federal Forest Rangers.

Although your passenger car may be able to navigate the trail during most of the year, in the case of inclement weather, an ably and gently driven sport utility vehicle with higher ground clearance is the preferred mode of transportation.

The green line on this topographical map represents the cabin’s trail, which winds through one of the last remaining stands of virgin forest in Michigan.

The photograph below depicts the strech of river that will be uniquely accessible to you while staying at the cabin. The cabin's location is indicated by a small green box. As pictured, it is the only property on the entire south side of this National Wild and Scenic River.

The Sweetwater Cabin is located near Ludington on the western coast of Michigan's lower peninsula and is easily accessible by car. You can also reach the cabin from Wisconsin by sailing on the "Badger", a car ferry operating seasonally between Manitowoc, Wisconsin and Ludington, Michigan.
