About

Kingston Guard Station is a historic Forest Service facility situated in the remote Kingston Canyon area of the Toiyabe Range within the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. Once used for administrative purposes by Forest Service personnel, the guard station has been abandoned and is no longer operational. The site is not available for public camping, rentals, or recreational use. The Kingston Canyon area offers other recreational opportunities including access to Groves Lake for fishing, the Toiyabe Crest National Recreation Trail, and dispersed camping options elsewhere in the canyon. The Kingston Trailhead, located approximately 6 miles west of State Route 376, serves as the northernmost access point to the Toiyabe Crest National Recreation Trail.
