Cabin Lake Guard Station, Historic ranger station in Deschutes National Forest, Oregon, US

Cabin Lake Guard Station is a compound of six wood-frame buildings with concrete foundations and weatherboard siding, set in the Deschutes National Forest at 4,510 feet. Five are painted light green with dark brown trim; one residence is cream with brown trim. The interiors have pine paneling and brick fireplaces.

The buildings were constructed between 1934 and 1938 by the Civilian Conservation Corps as part of Depression-era work programs. The site served as headquarters for the Fort Rock Ranger District until 1945, when operations relocated.

The name comes from nearby Cabin Lake, and the site's bird guzzlers are concrete basins fed by water-collection aprons and a storage tank. Volunteers now work with Forest Service archaeologists to renovate the buildings, and two ranger residences may become recreation rental cabins.

The adjacent Forest Service campground has 14 primitive sites, but no water or toilet facilities. The dirt access road can be rough; two-wheel-drive vehicles usually manage from April through November, while four-wheel-drive is recommended the rest of the year. The guard station itself is closed and unoccupied.

Two permanent bird blinds stand about 300 feet apart, each an 8-by-12-foot covered shelter with veiled windows for viewing birds 15–20 feet away. Each has a concrete guzzler filled from a storage tank; the water draws birds from both pine forest and high desert, and many Wikipedia bird photographs were taken here.
