Cabin Boulders is a bouldering area within Salt Fork State Park in Ohio, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots, with Pine Crest Trail Boulders (Lakeside Boulders) about 0.1 mile away and Morgan's Knob Boulders (FKA Diving Board Boulders) about 0.4 mile away. Thirteen bouldering routes make up the area, all rated between V0 and V4 on the V scale. Easy Slab is the easiest at V0, and Wanting S’more is the hardest at V4. Several of the routes, including Flaked Out and Timber, were first ascended by Ray Weber. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cambridge show May highs around 75°F and October highs around 66°F, with summer highs reaching the mid-80s. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures up high run cooler.
