Clackamas Lake Ranger Station Historic District
The Clackamas Lake Ranger Station Historic District is a Forest Service compound consisting of eleven historic buildings located in the Mount Hood National Forest in the Cascade Mountains of northern Oregon. It was originally built as a district ranger station for the Clackamas Lake Ranger District. It was later converted to a summer guard station. Today, the Forest Service rents the historic ranger's residence to recreational visitors. The Clackamas Lake Ranger Station is listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places.
== History ==
In the 1920s and 1930s, forest road networks were not well developed. To facilitate work in National Forests, the Forest Service built district ranger stations at strategic locations within the forest to house full-time employees and provide logistics support to fire patrols and project crews working at remote forest sites. After World War II, the Forest Service greatly expanded its road network, allowing employees to get to most forest areas within a few hours. As a result, many of the more isolated ranger stations were closed or converted to summer guard station.〔("A bit of History" ), Recreation Rentals of the Pacific Northwest, Pacific Northwest Region, United States Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Portland, Oregon, 12 August 2008.〕〔Jacoby, Jayson, ("Rustic Forest Service cabins available for rent" ), ''Baker City Herald'', Baker City, Oregon, 27 April 2006.〕
The Forest Service began using the Clackamas Lake site in 1905. The original ranger cabin and barn were built by the district's first ranger, Joe Graham, in 1906. The compound was expanded during the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. All of the historic buildings that exist at the site today are from that era. The range station served as the summer administrative site for the Clackamas Lake Ranger District from 1906 until the 1952 when the compound was converted to a guard station for fire crews and work parties. After a short period of disuse in the 1960s, the guard station was reopened in the early 1970s. Since then, the site has remained in continuous use as a guard station, work center, recreation facility, and visitor center.〔Joslin, Les, ''Uncle Sam's Cabins'', Wilderness Associates, Bend, Oregon, 1995, pp 201-203.〕
Because of the rustic architecture of the buildings and the site's unique historic value as an early Forest Service ranger station, the Clackamas Lake Ranger Station compound was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Place in 1981.〔("Clackamas Lake Ranger Station Historic District" ), National Register of Historic Places, www.nationalregisterofhistoricalplaces.com, 30 October 2008.〕〔("Clackamas Lake Guard Station" ), Facilities Master Planning Toolbox, Forest Service Engineering, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C., 24 July 2007.〕 The historic area covers .〔("Clackamas Lake Historic Cabin (OR)" ), National Recreation Reservation Service, www.recreation.gov, 30 October 2008.〕
