Teal Spring Campground

## Overview

Clearwater Big House gives the feel of a winter chalet hideaway, even during
the warmest months of the summer. Hiking, horseback riding and scenic drives
abound, delighting guests year after year. The Clearwater Lookout Tower is a
mile away. The tower is not open, but the area is nice for scenic views.  
  
An old trapper cabin was located at the current site and was later used as a
ranger station. From 1928-29, a ranger built a three-room house and by 1933,
the Civilian Conservation Corps was tasked with building a barn, warehouse,
outhouse and garage.  
  
In winter, the cabin is well-suited for snowmobiling and cross country skiing
on groomed snowmobile trails. These modes of over-snow transportation are
required for winter access to the cabin.

## Recreation

The cabin provides nearby access to hiking and horseback riding trails that
lead to Teal Springs and the lush Tucannon River Drainage. The scenic drive
along the Tucannon River Drainage to Sunset Point is also a recommended
activity.  
  
  
In winter, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and snowshoeing trails are right
out your front door.

## Facilities

The cabin has 868 square feet of living space on the first floor, and another
336 square feet upstairs, and can accommodate up to 10 people. It is fully
furnished with 3 queen, 1 full, and 5 twin beds, and a dining table and
chairs. Propane heat and lighting are included, and the kitchen is equipped
with a propane cook stove and refrigerator. The cabin does not have indoor
bathroom facilities. There is an outdoor fire ring and a picnic table. An
outhouse is located across the road.  
  
No water is provided. Guests need to bring plenty of water for drinking,
cooking, and washing. They should also bring cooking pots and utensils,
bedding or sleeping bags, dish soap, matches, a flashlight and all other basic
camping items.

General cleaning is expected before departure. Mop, bucket, broom, and

nestled in a clearing dotted with young Christmas trees. The Wenaha-Tucannon
Wilderness is nearby, stretching across the northern Blue Mountains of
southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon.  
  
The mountain slopes are carpeted with bunchgrass, lodgepole pine and subalpine
fir. An array of wildlife, including Rocky Mountain Elk, bighorn sheep, white-
tailed and mule deer, black bears, cougars and coyotes, may be spotted.

## Nearby Attractions

## Overview

Godman Guard Station was built in 1933-34 as part of an administrative complex
and sits just outside the impressive Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness. This two-
story, wood frame structure is surrounded by tall timbers such as Grand fir,
Douglas fir, Engelmann spruce, Lodgepole pine, and subalpine fir. The complex
is adjacent to the historic Godman Campground built by the Civilian
Conservation Corps. The cabin is located about 28 miles from Dayton,
Washington in the Umatilla National Forest. Weather permitting, the cabin is
typically accessible by automobile from June to November. Winter access
requires skis, snowshoes or snowmobiles. A groomed snowmobile trail passes by
the cabin.

## Recreation

Visitors to Godman Guard Station have access to many recreation opportunities.

**Hiking:** Step out of the Godman Guard Station and into the backyard of the
Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness. This wilderness includes an expanse of 177,465
acres of rugged, basaltic ridges, steep canyons, rushing rivers and their
tributaries, quiet beauty, abundant wildlife, and stunning views. Access
nearest the cabin to the Wilderness is via West Butte Trail #3138. Be prepared
for trailhead fees if you visit the areas developed trailheads, you can
purchase a pass ahead of your trip or pay on site.

**Fishing:** Many trails descend into the rugged river canyons and offer
fishing opportunities. Check with the appropriate State Department of Fish and
Wildlife for licensing and regulations.

**Hunting:** Many species are at home in the area including whitetail deer,
mule deer, black bear, elk, turkey and grouse.

**Horseback:** Horseback riding is popular in this area during the summer and
fall to access the wilderness. Due to sanitary reasons, horses are not allowed
near the Godman Guard Station. There are hitching rails and feed bunks located
at the barn less than 200 yards up the hill from the guard station. The barn
is not available for use by the public but the hitching rails and feed bunks
are available for use. There is a spring with trough located near the barn.

**Winter Activities:** In the winter, campers enjoy snowmobiling, skiing, and
snowshoeing in the area. Winter access to the guard station is by snowmobile,
snowshoes, or cross country skis from the Touchet Corral Sno-Park near
Bluewood Ski Area. The sno-park is a shared-use access point for a groomed
snowmobile trail system. The cabin located adjacent to the Godman Guard
Station is used by the local snowmobile club. This can create snowmobile
traffic as they travel the groomed trail system and stop to use this facility
as a warming shelter.

Opportunities for other activities such as enjoying a drive to view the
scenery, bird watching, nature viewing, and photography are prolific in this
area.

## Facilities

The two-story, wood frame structure sleeps up to eight people and features two
bedrooms, a living area, and kitchen. An outhouse is available year-round.
Furnishings include two bunkbeds, 3 single beds, recliner style chairs, a
couch, a kitchen table and chairs. Also provided are a propane cook stove,

General cleaning is expected before departure. Mop, bucket, broom, and
cleaning supplies provided (water is not provided). Cleaning service is not
always available between guests, please leave the cabin as you would like to
find it. All garbage and food must be packed out.

Wilderness includes nearly 180,000 acres of rugged basaltic ridges, steep
canyons, rushing rivers and their tributaries and abundant wildlife. Rocky
Mountain Elk, bighorn sheep, white-tailed and mule deer, black bears, cougars,
