Hell Gate Campground

## Overview

This historic guard station offers a unique stay in the oldest Forest Service
building on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. This charming two-story
structure was built in 1916 under the direction of John T. Grey, District
Ranger of the Mad River Ranger District on the old Trinity National Forest.  
  
Visitors can relax on the front porch and enjoy the tranquil surroundings from
mid-April to the beginning of December.

## Recreation

The South Fork National Recreational Trail can be accessed one and a half
miles up the road from the cabin, or from the Scott Flat Campground when
conditions permit crossing the swinging footbridge. The trail is 21 miles
long, but the first 7.2-miles that parallel the South Fork Trinity River are
the most traversed. The trail offers numerous scenic views. Visitors may also
want to drive to Ruth Lake for a picnic and additional hiking, which is about
a 45 minute drive west of the cabin. Visitors can find a few excellent
swimming holes on the South Fork Trinity River.

## Facilities

The cabin has electricity. The lower level has a living area with two barrel
chairs and a double futon, along with a large kitchen area equipped with a
cook stove and refrigerator, dining table, and chairs. The kitchen is fully
stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and utensils.  
  
There is an indoor bathroom with flush toilet. There are 4 twin beds, and a
double futon, and sleeping bags can be placed on the floor to accommodate a
total of eight people in the cabin. Visitors should bring all bed linens
(e.g., sheets, blankets, sleeping bags and/or blankets, pillows), kitchen
linens, and bath towels.  
  
A fire pit, Adirondak chairs, and picnic table are provided outside.  
  
Space heaters are in the cabin.

## Natural Features

Forest Glen Guard Station is located in the Hayfork Area, an area rich in
natural beauty. One of its three major watersheds is the South Fork Trinity
River, which is adjacent to the guard station and considered to be one of
wildest and most scenic waterways in northern California. Glen Creek flows
year round right next to the cabin. The surrounding area is forested with
ponderosa pine, Douglas Fir, and oak. There are many numerous open meadows in
the area.
