If you love nature and elk, the DNR is offering rental opportunities for The Tiny Elk Cabin in Clear Lake State Park. There are so many elk in the area you can actually hear them bugling in the mornings and evenings. Odds are, if you can hear an elk bugling, you will see some elk so have that camera or video camera ready at all times.

If you rent the "Tiny Cabin", you will not only see and hear elk but will also have a great view of Clear Lake which has some outstanding fishing as well. The tiny cabin is not an elk hunting trip, even though you are in elk country, this visit is all about enjoying and being near the elk and nature and there is room for four in the cabin.
