About
Overview
The Bull River Guard Station was built in 1908 as the Ranger's house and office. This structure was a primary ranger station from 1908 to 1920, surviving the legendary 1910 fires that swept through the area. The cabin was home to Granville "Granny" Gordon (District Ranger), his wife and three daughters.
Full vehicle access to the cabin depends on weather conditions. The road is normally plowed within 1 mile of the cabin during winter months. Recreation
