Rhein Lake cabin is the newest cabin within Nancy Lake State Recreation Area.

Location:
Located at milepost 5 on the Nancy Lake Parkway. There is a well-marked gate and driveway that leads you to the cabin, located on the south end of the lake. In the winter, the gate at Mile 2.2 of Nancy Lake Parkway is LOCKED. Please park at the Winter Trailhead parking lot, also at Mile 2.2, and using registered snowmobiles (when open to snowmobiles), skis, snowshoes, or dog sled, travel the unplowed portion of the parkway another 3 miles. Rhein Lake is in a non-motorized part of the recreation area. ATVs, snowmobiles and floatplanes prohibited. Snowmobiles may be driven ONLY to the cabin, not beyond. Once at the cabin, the interior is designed for ease of access.
