About
The historic Tucannon Guard Station is a charming saltbox-style cabin constructed in 1909. It was inhabited by the first ranger in the Tucannon area, William Kendell, and his family. By 1916, the guard house became headquarters for the district for two years, and then continued on as a standard guard station. Staying here is like stepping back in time. The rooms inside are nicely decorated and cozy. Touches like curtains on the windows and modern furniture add to the destination experience. Beyond the cabin is plenty of photogenic scenery, plus options for prime fishing and hiking. Entry to the cabin is by combination lock; please call the Pomeroy Ranger District one week prior to arrival at (509) 843-1891 for lock and to check on weather and road conditions This facility may have mice poison (Decon) around the perimeter; beware of exposure to children and pets Please bring garbage bags; this is a "pack in-pack out" facility No off-road vehicles around cabin; they may only be used on designated trails Dogs are allowed; owners must clean up after them For current news and events of Pacific Northwest Region National Forests, click here Don’t Move Firewood: Please protect Pacific Northwest forests by preventing the spread of invasive species.
