About

Warren Guard Station is a historic Forest Service administrative complex built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Located in the remote historic gold mining town of Warren, Idaho, approximately 45 miles north of McCall via Warren Wagon Road (about 1.5 hours driving), the station comprises 11 buildings that tell the story of early Forest Service operations in the region. Unlike other guard stations in the Payette National Forest that have been converted to cabin rentals (such as Burgdorf, Paddy Flat, and Buck Park), Warren Guard Station operates as an interpretive site and museum when staffed. The facility is currently closed and not available for visitors. A self-guided tour booklet and accompanying audio file are available for download, with CD copies available through the McCall Ranger District office for those interested in learning about the site's history.
