The recreation area has free camping, fire pits, a shelter, and bathrooms, and is one of the closest free camping areas to Wildcat Hill Provincial Park.[3]
It is located at the junction of Highways 9 and 55, approximately 88 kilometres (55 mi) north of Hudson Bay, 76 kilometres (47 mi) south of The Pas, and 42 kilometres (26 mi) east of Pakwaw Lake.
The Pasquia Hills are sometimes known as the Pasquia Mountains, or The Pas Mountains, which is where the word Mountain comes from in the name. The original cabin belonged to a mining prospector, and was embedded into the side of a hill.[4]
Another potential origin of the name comes from the Forest Ranger cabin in the area. From 1906 to 1930, the Dominion Forest Service built over a dozen ranger cabins in the Pasquia National Forest Reserve, including one at the mouth of Mountain Creek, which originates in the Pasquia Hills and empties into the Nitenai River. The cabin was officially called Mountain Creek Cabin, but was often shortened to Mountain Cabin, even in official correspondence. The Mountain Creek Cabin was destroyed by a fire in 1961.[5]
