Cabin Lake Guard Station
Cabin Lake Guard Station, Historic ranger station in Deschutes National Forest, Oregon, US
The Cabin Lake Guard Station compound includes six rustic structures with wood-frame construction and weatherboard exteriors painted in light green and cream colors.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the station buildings between 1934 and 1938, serving as the Fort Rock Ranger District headquarters until 1945.
The station represents the development of forest management in the United States, marking the establishment of strategic locations for fire patrols in national forests.
The location offers 14 primitive campsites near permanent bird blinds where visitors can observe northern flickers, woodpeckers, mourning doves, and various sparrow species.
The site maintains two dedicated bird observation blinds with small water basins that attract numerous bird species throughout the Deschutes National Forest area.
