About
Peavy Cabin is a historic one-room log cabin nestled along the Wild and Scenic North Fork John Day River in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. Built in 1934 by Dr. George Wilcox Peavy, Dean of the School of Forestry at Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University), the facility originally served as an outdoor laboratory for forestry students. The Forest Service later converted it to a guard station, and today it stands as a preserved historic site available for public rental. The cabin sleeps four with beds, a large table and benches, and a wood stove for heating. The kitchen includes a propane gas range, refrigerator, dry sink, and basic cooking utensils. Propane gas lights provide illumination. A vault toilet is located outside, and the grounds feature a horse corral, wood shed, and picnic tables. Visitors must bring their own drinking water as none is available on site. Peavy Trailhead, adjacent to the cabin, provides access to the North Fork John Day Wilderness via Peavy Trail #1640 and Cunningham Cove Trail #1643, both connecting to the Elkhorn Crest National Recreation Trail #1611. The area supports Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, mountain goats, and black bears. The cabin is located 3 miles from the Elkhorn Scenic Byway.
