Cabin Lake is in the Brokenback Mountain area, here you can find a little beach and a lake surrounded by trees. For those that want more adventurous riding, after this point the trails start to go through the forest, having some elevation gain, so be sure you are prepared for it because it can be more of a mountain biking route.
