About Snyder Guard Station (ID)

Snyder Guard station, located on the banks of the scenic Moyie River, has been listed on the National Register for Historic places since 1982. The complex of seven buildings includes a residence, two log cabins, a cookhouse, warehouse, corrals, a machinery shed and a garage. The facility is spread across 10 lovely acres and is perfect for large groups of up to 70 people or small family getaways. The buildings on the property were constructed from 1906 to 1936, and most structures are available for rent. A group picnic and camping area provide additional campsites and amenities for six RVs, plenty of room for tent camping, pathways to the river, and more. Snyder was originally constructed as a remote work station for early Forest Service employees. As roads were constructed and transportation improved, the site no longer required live-in crews, so visitors can now use these buildings as recreation rentals.

As always we had a much needed restorative, unpluged time. This is one of our favorite places on earth. Mike and Dale were amazing. They work so hard to keep the property looking amazing. Dale's dahlias were gorgeous, Mike was always doing something to improve the property. They're a boon to this wonderful historic treasure. We look forward to out next visit.
