Splinters Cabin Day Use Area
Located adjacent to Deep Creek in the Lake Arrowhead area.
Splinters Cabin is an excellent starting point to visit Deep Creek in the Lake Arrowhead area. The world renown Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is a short walk from the parking lot, and the PCT traveling north from Splinter's follows Deep Creek for 14 miles.
Deep Creek is a popular native trout fishery and swimming is another favorite visitor activity in the area.
Splinters Cabin was built in 1922 by Le Roy Raymond. Le Roy and his brother had visited the area in 1918 and applied for permits to build the cabin, completing it in 1922. Ley Roy dedicated the cabin "Splinters", since his wife always stated everything he built seemed to be full of splinters.
