About Fry Meadows Guard Station

Fry Meadows Guard Station offers the peaceful solitude of a remote nature-lover's paradise just south of the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness and west of the Grande Ronde Wild and Scenic River. The surrounding area is steeped with native history and culture as it was once home to the Nez Perce, Umatilla, Walla Walla and Cayuse Indians. This site was originally established as a ranger station before 1908, part of the former Wenaha National Forest. The existing cabin was constructed in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps and was used as a remote guard station until about 1980. The two-room cabin provides a pleasant escape for up to six guests. Additional guests may pitch a tent in the yard. Pets are welcome but must be leashed and outside

Loved the cabin. Nice to have heat and cooking facilities. Beds very comfortable. Only complaint was directions given from Elgin. We ended up at the fish hatchery on the first try. There were absolutely no signs from Elgin to the cabin, until final turnoff. Came back via road to Jubilee Lake. It was longer, but much better signage and roads.

The weather was cool and sometimes rainy, but we were comfortable in the propane heated cabin. There is a good view of the Grand Ronde River Canyon from forest service road 050.

Very nice cabin located next to a meadow with wildlife passing through (turkeys, deer, elk). Very clean and in good condition with plenty of sleeping accommodations.

We found the cabin very clean and tidy. All the screens on the windows were torn, so we couldn't open the windows at night which was a little of a bummer. The nights were cool and the days were terribly hots so that wasn't too much of an inconvenience.
