PRINGLE FALLS

Pringle Falls Campground

## 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.

## Facilities

This rustic, 600-square-foot, single story cabin was constructed in the
Cascadia style of the Pacific Northwest Region. It has two bedrooms, a kitchen
and a living room. The cabin is furnished with one full bed, a twin bed and a
two-person futon in the living room. Cabin amenities include a heater,
refrigerator, lights and stove, all powered by propane. The kitchen is
furnished with cooking utensils, pots and pans. A picnic table is provided for
outdoor dining. Guests must bring several of their own amenities, including
food, preferred cooking utensils, sleeping bags or preferred bedding, towels,
dish soap, matches, a first aid kit, toilet paper and garbage bags. There is
no water available at the site. Guests must bring water for drinking, cooking
and washing. A vault toilet is located on the premises. RV camping is allowed
on-site.

## Natural Features

A forest of lodgepole pine provides the backdrop for this area, with the
beautiful, spring-fed Fall River flowing adjacent to the cabin. Clear and
cold, it originates two miles northwest of Pringle Falls and winds its way
northeast to join the mighty Deschutes River.  
  
Towering nearby peaks, designated wilderness and remnants of volcanic activity
in the area showcase ecosystems typical of central Oregon.  
  
Wildlife in the area abounds, including deer, native fish and migratory birds.
These species, along with many others, depend on surrounding undeveloped
wilderness, clean streams and diverse forests to live.

## Nearby Attractions

Lava Lands Visitor Center in Bend, Oregon, and the unique geological landscape
of Newberry National Volcanic Monument draw visitors to the region. Visitors
may also enjoy traveling the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway. The 66-mile drive
