CEDAR SPRINGS CAMPGROUND (WA)

Cedar Springs Campground (Wa)

## Overview

American River Guard Station is located about 40 miles west of Naches,
Washington on the banks of the American River in the eastern Cascade
Mountains. The rustic cabin and outhouse were built by the men of the 932nd
Camp Naches Civilian Conservation Corps crew in 1941 as a summer residence and
work site for fire patrol and recreation management personnel. In the 1970s,
volunteers and permit holders sporadically used the cabin, until it was found
eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
Today, the cabin offers visitors a wonderful setting for year-round recreation
and relaxation.

## Recreation

The cabin setting provides ready access to Bumping Lake, where boating and
fishing are popular. Hiking and horseback riding trails extend into the
William O. Douglas and Norse Peak Wilderness areas, and off-road vehicle and
snowmobile access draws visitors to the Little Naches drainage. In winter,
snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing are popular in the American River area.
The cabin is also conveniently located 30 minutes below the summit of Chinook
Pass and Mt. Rainer National Park . A trip along the scenic Mather Parkway is
a fantastic outing. The American River, adjacent to the cabin, offers a scenic
backdrop for anglers. Its cold, clear waters sustain populations of rainbow
and brown trout. Whitewater enthusiasts may enjoy a paddle on the American
River or one of its tributaries.

## Facilities

The Depression-era rustic cabin has a small kitchen, a living/sleeping area,
one bedroom and a full-sized sleeping loft and storage room.

There is a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room, a full-size bed and
mattress in the bedroom and four twin size beds with mattresses in the
upstairs loft. Sleeping bags and sleeping pads are not provided. The cabin is
furnished with a dining table and chairs for four people (with hidden leaf to
expand for eight people), a small refrigerator and an electric range.

There is a wood stove, electric light fixtures and a living room electric
baseboard heater. Guests should be aware that open flame devises such as
propane stoves, gas lanterns, and candles are prohibited indoors. The kitchen
is equipped with a coffee maker, pots, dishes and glassware, but guests must
bring several of their own supplies including food, cooking utensils, dish
soap, towels, matches, garbage bags and a first aid kit.

Outside, near the cabin, there is a picnic table and campfire ring. The
original two-seater outhouse has been restored. Wood may be available, but the
supply cannot be guaranteed. There is no water at the cabin, therefore
visitors must bring plenty for drinking, cooking and washing. In the summer,
drinking water can be obtained from the nearby Cedar Spring Campground.

The cabin contains a variety of cleaning supplies. Visitors must remove all
food and garbage and clean the cabin prior to departure. In the summer,
visitors can dispose of their waste in a dumpster in the nearby American Forks
Campground. When the campground is closed for the season, visitors must "pack
it in and pack it out."

## Natural Features

The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest is defined by its diverse landscapes,
boasting high, glaciated alpine peaks, lush valleys of old growth forest, and
rugged shrub-steppe country. The American River Guard Station is nestled in an
old-growth forest of Douglas fir, western hemlock, and a cedar understory with
grassy areas, ferns and mosses. With the William O. Douglas and Norse Peak
Wilderness areas nearby, the location is home to abundant wildlife, including
deer, porcupine, native fish, and migratory birds. Endangered and threatened
species, including the Northern Spotted Owl, gray wolves and grizzly bears
also find havens in local ecosystems. Summer temperatures are generally sunny
and warm with little precipitation, and winters boast mostly clear skies, but
plenty of snow.
