Structure
The Bagby Guard Station is located in a remote area of the Clackamas Ranger District on the western slope of the Cascade Mountains, at 2,272 feet (693 m) elevation. It is a rustic cabin surrounded by undisturbed old-growth forest of mainly Douglas-fir, western hemlock, and western red cedar.
The guard station is a traditional log cabin structure with a wood shingle roof and a stone foundation. It has a single room measuring 24 by 16 feet (4.9 m). The logs were cut and peeled on the site so the cabin blends into the surrounding forest landscape. The original shed still sits next to the guard station cabin. Both historic structures were renovated in 2006. However, they are not open to the public.
In addition to the two historic structures, there are seven other building at the Bagby site. These include the new guard station and storage shed built in 1974. There are also three bathhouses built between 1983 and 1986 plus two outhouses for public use.
