Getting there
Cache Cabin was built in 1907 as a halfway point between the Mara Lookout ranger station from Sicamous. Cache Cabin is not meant for overnight stays but, in an emergency, the Cache Cabin could be a safe haven for lost backcountry users. At this historical cabin you must abide by Leave no trace camping techniques.
We would like to thank the kind volunteers with The Shuswap Trail Alliance and The Shuswap Backcountry Riders for the great work done in 2019 to improve the longevity of the cabin.
