About this site
Overview Fall River Guard Station is situated beneath a canopy of lodgepole pine on the banks of the Fall River in Deschutes National Forest. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's, the cabin was originally used as an outpost to fight forest fires. The cabin is an ideal setting for relaxation and recreation, and is available for reservation from April to October.
Recreation Fall River Guard Station is a prime location for fishing, swimming and hiking in summer and early fall. Anglers will enjoy casting a line into Fall River, located just steps from the cabin. The river is open only to fly-fishing, is an outstanding contributor of brown trout to the Deschutes River and provides excellent winter habitat for numerous species.
Brook, brown and rainbow trout inhabit the river, and native whitefish can be found below the falls. Access to Fall River Trail is available from the guard station, winding through lodgepole and ponderosa pine along the river.
