## Overview

Willow Prairie Cabin is located in the southwest portion of the Cascade
Mountain Range at the foot of Mt. McLoughlin, at an elevation of 4,300 feet.
The Willow Prairie Guard Station cabin was constructed on the edge of the
meadow in 1924 by a Forest Service road crew. Its main purpose at that time
was as a firefighter guard station.

In 1990, the cabin was converted to a horse camp and was recently restored by
local volunteers and employees of the Butte Falls Ranger District. Today it is
available for rent by groups with or without horses.

## Recreation

The cabin is adjacent to the Willow Prairie Campground , and surrounded by 19
plus miles of horse trails.

  
The wetlands adjacent to the cabin provide an excellent area for birding
enthusiasts to watch for sandhill cranes, great blue herons, Canada geese,
ducks and red-tailed hawks.

## Facilities

The one-room cabin can accommodate up to four people, it is furnished with 2
bunk beds that do not have mattresses. The cabin has two shutter-style windows
without glass, a wood stove for heat, and rustic furnishings, including a
table and chairs. There is counter space for meal preparation and places to
hang lanterns. Potable water is not provided.  

Outside amenities include a campfire ring and picnic table for outdoor dining.
Firewood is often available and intended for indoor use only, however the
supply cannot be guaranteed. The supply may run low and what is there may have
to be split by the visitor with the tools provided. Guests are encouraged to
bring their own. A vault toilet is located in the adjacent campground near the
cabin.  

Guests must supply their own camp stove, cookware, utensils, dishes, sleeping
bags, sleeping pads, towels, dish soap, matches, first aid kit, light source
and garbage bags.  
  
There are four 12 x 12 foot paddocks and water troughs near the cabin for up
to four horses.

## Natural Features

The Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest is composed of two distinct
geological provinces - the Cascade Range and the Siskiyou Mountains.  
  
The Cascade Range is dominated by snow-capped volcanic peaks such as 9,495
foot Mt. McLoughlin located within the Sky Lakes Wilderness. The Siskiyou area
embodies the most complex and treasured plant communities in the Pacific
Northwest. Wild rivers, biological diversity, remarkable fisheries resources,
and complex watersheds define the Siskiyou.  
  
Adjacent to the cabin and camp is a wetland area featuring a beaver swamp and
several large ponds where wildlife abounds. From majestic sandhill cranes and
Canada geese, to bull elk and deer, these species, along with many others,
depend on the surrounding undeveloped wilderness, undisturbed wetlands, clean
streams, and diverse forests to live.

## Overview

The guard station at Lodgepole Meadow was built in 1935 by the Civilian
Conservation Corps to replace the original station built in 1911. Lodgepole
Meadow was used as a remote guard station for the early Forest Service crews
working in the area.  
  
  
  
During WWII, Herb and Zella Wright, a husband and wife lookout team, lived
throughout the winter high up on the Blue Rock Lookout several miles away
watching for enemy aircraft. Lodgepole Guard Station served as their base
camp.  
  
  
  
Today, Lodgepole Guard Station is a perfect destination for horse enthusiasts,
families and those looking for a unique camping experience in the Rogue River-
Siskiyou National Forest.

## Recreation

The meadow offers plenty of room and even terrain for a large group of
visitors to spread out, camp, horseback ride, hike, mountain bike or just
relax.  
  
Additional horseback riding trails are a short trailer ride away, and include
the Alta Lake, Middle Fork and Seven Lakes Trails, all of which lead into the
Sky Lakes Wilderness.

## Facilities

Considered to be an outstanding example of Civilian Conservation Corps
construction in the Pacific Northwest, the one story cabin is designed to
comfortably sleep 4 occupants. The bedroom is furnished with a full-size bed,
a small closet and one dresser. The living room is furnished with a futon and
coffee table. The kitchen is equipped with a table and chairs, a sink, a
refrigerator, a stove, and basic cooking utensils. The bathroom has running
water, a shower and flush toilet.

The heater, stove and refrigerator are operated by propane and potable water

A former bunkhouse, tool shed, barn and stable with several horse paddocks,
are also on site. There is additional space for tent camping in the yard.

## Natural Features

Lodgepole Guard Station is surrounded by 40 acres of cross-fenced pastures
dotted with pines, and surrounded by forested rolling hills. The large grassy
meadow has a long history of being a major grazing area for horses and cattle,
and that tradition continues today.  
  
Diverse landscapes of the Rogue River Siskiyou National Forest provide habitat
for a wide-range of wildlife in the area, including spotted owls and bull elk
to salamanders and salmon. These species, along with many others, depend on
the surrounding undeveloped wilderness, undisturbed wetlands, clean streams,
and diverse forests to live.

## Overview

Imnaha Guard Station is located in the southwest portion of Oregon's Cascade
Range, at an elevation of 3,800 feet. The facility offers a remote setting and
most of the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. This cabin does not
feature indoor lighting so guests will need to bring lanterns or flashlights.

## Recreation

Hiking and Birdwatching are popular activities among guests visiting this
cabin.

Bird songs from nuthatches, chickadees, and Steller's jays are common at
Imnaha Guard Station. Varied thrush are around and can be identified with
their distinct calls that lift from the forest floor. Occasionally the loud
drumming of the dilapidated woodpecker can be heard, the largest woodpecker in
North America.

Sky Lakes wilderness is within a short drive from the cabin and can be
accessed from Blue Canyon Trailhead and Alta Lake Trailhead. The Lower South
Fork trail is also a short drive from Imnaha Cabin and has multiple trailheads
to choose from.

## Facilities

The Imnaha Guard House has a living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, and
is designed to comfortably sleep 4 occupants. The bedroom is furnished with a
full-size bed, a small closet and one dresser. The kitchen is equipped with a
table and chairs, sink, refrigerator, stove, and basic cooking utensils. The
bathroom has running water, shower and flush toilet.

The heater, stove and refrigerator are operated by propane, and potable water
for drinking and cooking is available from the faucet. A picnic table in the
backyard permits comfortable outside dining.

The cabin features a lava-rock fireplace in the front room. There are no
guarantees of firewood. Visitors should bring lanterns, sleeping bags, towels
and matches. A very small Forest Service campground called Imnaha, is located
within sight of the cabin but will remain closed for the season.

## Natural Features

Imnaha Guard Station is surrounded by an old-growth forest composed of
Douglas-fir, white fir, incense cedar, ponderosa pine, sugar pine, and western
white pine. A notably large, 300-year-old Douglas-fir, known as "The Big
Tree," towers above the canopy near the Imnaha cabin.  

Imnaha Springs is just up a trail behind the cabin and forms separate rivulets
that flow through yellow monkey flowers and moss. The large volume of water
that bubbles from the springs is crystal clear and ice cold.
