Middle Fork Campground

## Overview

Murderer's Creek Guard Station is in the heart of the Malheur National Forest,
in central Oregon. It makes an excellent base camp for back country
recreating, and is a cozy retreat for a couple and a fun opportunity to
imagine the life of the early day forest rangers. The historic guard station
is one of the oldest standing buildings in the forest. The cabin contains some
modern amenities and can be accessed by vehicle. Guests are responsible for
their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own
amenities.

## Recreation

Viewing wildlife and birds is popular in the area, as is hunting not far from
the facility. Guests can hike area trails, explore the Cedar Grove Botanical
Area and fish Murderer's Creek and South Fork John Day, though area creeks run
dry toward summer's end.

## Facilities

The one-room "studio" cabin is equipped with a futon that folds down into a
full (double) bed. It has a table and chairs, a propane cook stove, propane
refrigerator and propane heater inside the cabin. Basic cooking pots, utensils
and tableware are also provided.  
  
There is a garage building and room to park an RV in the adjacent driveway. A
newer style vault toilet is located outside.  
  
Guests will need to bring water for drinking, cooking and cleaning purposes,
as well as bedding, flashlights or a lantern for emergencies, a first aid kit,
towels, garbage bags and dish soap, among other necessities. Guests will need
to clean the cabin and carry out all trash before leaving.

No pets allowed in the Guard Station.

## Natural Features

The guard station is located approximately 32 miles from the town of John Day.
It sits at an elevation of about 5,000 feet. The facility was built in 1913
and was originally used as a fire guard station. It was in use by Forest
Service officials until the late 1990s. Murderer's Creek, a small creek that
runs east and west along the southern base of Aldrich Mountain, is nearby the
cabin. The guard station is surrounded by open meadows and timbered areas of
ponderosa pine and mixed conifer. Abundant wildflowers dot the Cedar Grove
Botanical Area, a 26-acre cedar grove on the northeast slope of Aldrich
Mountain. The area is known for its wild horses, which coexist with mule deer,
elk, antelope, bighorn sheep, bear, cougar, and myriad smaller forest animals.

own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own
amenities.

John Day River. Restrictions apply; visitors should refer to Oregon State
regulations.  
  
There are hiking trails and back roads to the north of the guard station that

Wildlife viewing is popular, as is scenic driving.
