Wild Basin Ranger Station, Ranger station in Boulder County, United States.

Wild Basin Ranger Station is a log building with a steeply pitched gable roof covered in wood shingles, set on a concrete foundation. The roof overhangs at the front to form a porch, supported at each end by corbeled logs. Inside are three rooms that served administrative and residential purposes.

The National Park Service Branch of Plans and Design built this structure in 1932 as part of their mountain infrastructure development. Recognition came in 1988 when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its historical significance as a park building.

The station's name comes from the Wild Basin area of Rocky Mountain National Park, where it stands in the southeastern section of the park in Boulder County. The log walls, wood-shingle roof and corbeled porch logs show the National Park Service rustic style, built to plans by the service's Branch of Plans and Design. The nearby Wild Basin House is also on the National Register.

The station offers visitors maps, trail information, and stamps for Passport to Your National Parks collection. Located in the southeastern section of the park near Wild Basin, it serves as a natural starting point for exploring that area.

The station's porch roof is held up at each end by corbeled logs, a detail easy to miss when reading the trailhead signs. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 29, 1988, the same year the nearby Wild Basin House was listed.
