About this place
Olallie Lake Guard Station gives campers an old-fashioned cabin experience with its well-preserved features, including a massive rock chimney, interior wood, and hand-wrought iron work. It provides access to a number of outdoor recreation opportunities as well as its namesake lake. The cabin is at nearly 5,000 feet elevation so the season may be delayed by late snows, which restricts cabin access.
