Koosharem Guard Station
This facility is designated for administrative use only and is not available for public camping or rental reservations.
Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT
ESFSLC The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will merge with a fall-like storm system over the western United States, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall and a resulting threat of flooding. Widespread rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is expected, locally in excess of 3 inches, particularly across south aspects of southern Utah mountains, between late Saturday and Monday morning. Expect many area waterways including streams, rivers, normally dry washes, creeks, and slot canyons to have rising, fast flows by Sunday evening. Current forecasts do not bring any rivers to flood stage, but this will be monitored as the fine details of heavy rain bands become more confident. Those with activities near rivers, streams, creeks and recent burn scars should closely monitor the forecast over the next several days. Those with outdoor plans Sunday onward that include any travel near waterways across Utah should consider alternate plans. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible through at least Wednesday. While the rainfall rates with these additional rounds of precipitation will generally be lower, areas that receive significant precipitation during the weekend will be extra sensitive to any additional rainfall.

About
Koosharem Guard Station is a historic Forest Service cabin situated in Fishlake National Forest in Sevier County, Utah. The three-room structure features a queen bed, two bunk beds, a kitchen, and a bathroom with flush toilet. Potable drinking water is available from faucets on site. Unlike other guard stations in Fishlake National Forest such as Aquarius, Big Flat, Gooseberry, and Mt. Terrill that have been converted to public rental cabins, Koosharem Guard Station remains designated for administrative use only. It is not available for public reservations through Recreation.gov or any other booking system. The guard station is accessed via Koosharem Canyon Road (FR076) and Forest Roads 068 and 163. While the surrounding area offers recreation opportunities including the Koosharem Canyon/Paiute ATV Trailhead, the guard station itself is reserved for Forest Service operations.
