About
Currier Guard Station, named after a local ranch owner, was constructed in 1933 as an out station for the Paisley Ranger District to house forest fire prevention and suppression crews. The station operated seasonally until the early 1990s, with workers staying there each summer to complete maintenance logging, spring development, and pipe range projects. Today, this historic cabin offers guests a secluded getaway in a landscape abundant with wildlife and natural beauty. The 450 square-foot cabin features two rooms and can accommodate up to four people. The combination bedroom and living room contains a set of bunk beds, a double bed, propane heating stove, and propane refrigerator. The kitchen is equipped with a table, chairs, and propane cook stove. Rustic camp decor includes log-built furnishings, a rocking chair, and deer antler door handles on the outhouse. A picnic table and campfire ring are provided outside for dining and campfires. Guests must bring all drinking water, sleeping bags, cooking gear, and other supplies. Located one mile north of the Sycan Wild and Scenic River, the guard station offers excellent opportunities for fly fishing, hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking. The river supports rainbow, brook, brown, and bull trout. Behind the cabin, an expanse of meadow stretches to meet the forest's edge, providing habitat for red-tailed hawks, meadowlarks, Steller's jays, hummingbirds, deer, and Rocky Mountain elk. The surrounding Fremont-Winema National Forest is known for its towering peaks, volcanic landscapes, wide-open sage basins, and scenic vistas.
