Kickapoo Lodge

This secluded cabin is a dream come true for the DIY trout angler, offering private, walk-in access to a Class I trout stream just steps from the front door. Whether you're an experienced fly fisherman or new to the sport, you’ll appreciate the cold, clear water winding through the property—home to wild brown trout that are both wary and willing for those who know how to approach them. The stream offers riffles, deep runs, and undercut banks perfect for dry fly presentations, nymphing, or even small spinners, making it ideal for anglers who want to put in the work and be rewarded.

There’s no need to pack up the truck or hike in for miles—this property lets you fish early, late, and often. Hit the water at first light, take a midday break back at the cabin for lunch, and get back on the stream for evening risers. Because you're staying on-site, you’ll have the luxury of fishing during the most productive windows without the pressure of traveling or competing with crowds. The convenience alone puts this spot in a league of its own for serious trout anglers who want full control over their time on the water.

The cabin is simple, clean, and built for comfort after long days outdoors. It includes a full kitchen for preparing meals, a hot shower, and a firepit under the stars to relax and relive the day's catches. There’s plenty of space for gear, waders, and coolers, and the quiet setting ensures you’re fully immersed in nature from the moment you arrive. Whether you're tying flies at the table or listening to owls call from the woods, it’s the kind of place that makes you slow down and appreciate the details.

For those interested in a little more than just trout, the surrounding area offers excellent DIY hunting opportunities on nearby public land and private parcels accessible via permission. The region is known for strong whitetail deer populations, abundant wild turkey, and classic Midwestern upland bird cover. Rolling hills, hardwood ridges, and open CRP fields create a mosaic of habitat within a short drive of the property. Whether you’re chasing a spring gobbler before a morning hatch or scouting rub lines after an afternoon on the water, this cabin puts you right in the middle of it all—making it the perfect basecamp for the self-sufficient outdoorsman.
