HomeMy WebLinkAboutElk Lake Guard StationA wagon road built in 1920 between Elk Lake and Bend sparked a wave of tourism around the
scenic waterfront. To protect natural resources of the Deschutes NaƟonal Forest and provide visitor
informaƟon to guests, the Elk Lake Guard StaƟon was constructed in 1929 to house a forest guard.
The building was restored in 1997 and operates now as an informaƟon center along the Cascade
Lakes Scenic Byway.
