About
Raddue Guard Station is a historic Forest Service cabin located in the Malheur National Forest in Grant County, Oregon. This former guard station, like other historic rentals in the Malheur National Forest, offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience rustic accommodations while exploring the vast backcountry of eastern Oregon's Blue Mountains region. The guard station provides a base camp for a variety of outdoor activities throughout the seasons, including hiking, wildlife viewing, hunting, and potentially winter recreation depending on snow conditions and road access. The facility reflects the historic character of early Forest Service operations while providing shelter for modern recreationists. As with most guard station rentals in the Malheur National Forest, visitors should be prepared for rustic conditions and should verify seasonal access, as forest roads may be impassable during winter months or require high-clearance vehicles. Reservations are typically made through Recreation.gov.
Directions
Murderers Creek Guard Station is located in the heart of the Malheur National Forest, approximately 32 miles from the town of John Day, Oregon. Access is via vehicle on forest roads through timbered and meadow landscapes. Travelers should prepare for mountainous terrain and changing road conditions, especially outside of summer months.
