## Overview

Paradise Guard Station is located on the Ashley National Forest, approximately
25 air miles northwest of Vernal, in eastern Utah. Folklore states the
district ranger built the cabin in his spare time in 1922 and it has changed
very little since then. In 1929, the Bartlett Sawmill was built just 75 yards
south. It burned down in 1940, but some remnants of the old facility still
remain.  
  
The Ashley National Forest Vernal Ranger District has chosen to rent this
guard station to the public so visitors can enjoy a rustic experience similar
to that of the first rangers. Guests enjoy canoeing and fishing on Paradise
Park Reservoir, and exploring local hiking, biking and off-road vehicle
trails.

## Recreation

Paradise Park Reservoir is nearby, covering just less than 60 acres. Canoeing
and fishing for rainbow and cutthroat trout are popular activities. Dead Lake,
Mill Pond and Julius Park Reservoir are within a short distance.  
  
The Ashley-Karst National Geologic Recreation Area offers dramatic canyons,
densely forested backcountry areas, and vast networks of caves.  
  
A variety of hiking, biking, horseback riding and off-road vehicle trails
crisscross the surrounding area, including the 8.4-mile Deadman Lake Trail,
which begins at Paradise Campground.

## Facilities

The guard station complex can sleep four to eight. The cabin contains two,
twin-size bunk beds for four people, though no linens, bedding or pillows are
provided. Level parking is provided for a maximum of one RV/camp trailer.
Ample room for tent camping is available outside.  
  
  
  
Please note that this cabin is RUSTIC. There is no sink, stove, oven or
refrigerator. The cabin has no water or plumbing, however there is a vault
toilet outside for year-round use. A wood-burning stove is supplied for heat.
A combination campfire ring and grill is located outside.

**The cabin remains locked; call the Vernal Ranger District office, at (435)
789-1181, three business days prior to arrival, to confirm the combination
lock code. COMBINATION CODE REQUIRED to enter cabin. (Some combination locks
used have off-set entry lines. If code is not working, try off-setting entry
line).**

## Natural Features

The small white cabin sits at the edge of a grassy meadow surrounded by a
dense spruce-fir forest, at an elevation of 10,000 feet. Paradise Creek, a
tributary of the Whiterocks River, flows lazily through the meadow in front of
the cabin.
