About American River Guard Station

American River Guard Station is located about 40 miles west of Naches, Washington on the banks of the American River in the eastern Cascade Mountains. The rustic cabin and outhouse were built by the men of the 932nd Camp Naches Civilian Conservation Corps crew in 1941 as a summer residence and work site for fire patrol and recreation management personnel. In the 1970s, volunteers and permit holders sporadically used the cabin, until it was found eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. Today, the cabin offers visitors a wonderful setting for year-round recreation and relaxation.

Great place to relax!! Accommodations for 2 are perfect! Lack of privacy inside would make it challenging for more adults, but looks great for kids. From the main road, the area surrounding the cabin was very icy! Be prepared to park at the kiosk along Bumping River Road. Looking forward to coming back again in the summer! Remember to bring an axe to chop firewood!

This well worn cabin is in a beautiful setting with the river right outside. And, the area has a multitude of other rivers to fish and trails to hike. If you want to eat out, you can do so only a few miles down the road. Very nice time.

We love the cabin and setting, but the outhouse is near overflowing. It makes coming back unlikely. I have stayed several times before but two times in a row of a full outhouse is discusting.
