Bagby Guard Station is a rustic cabin located in the Mount Hood National Forest in western Oregon, United States.

The guard station was originally built to house fire crews assigned to patrol the surrounding National Forest.

To get to job sites, Forest Service employees often traveled many miles on foot or horseback, carrying all the equipment need to perform field work.

[1] The Bagby Guard Station is located in the Mount Hood National Forest forty miles southeast of Estacada, Oregon, just outside the boundary of Bull of the Woods Wilderness area.

It was built next to Bagby Hot Springs in 1913 by Phillip F. Putz, the Forest Service guard assigned to the area.

During the 1920s, summer fire crews built a barn, dam, bathhouse, and additional shelters at the site.

[4]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.

[5][6] The guard station is a traditional log cabin structure with a wood shingle roof and a stone foundation.

The Pansy Lake Trail takes hikers to peak's 5,523-foot (1,683 m) summit where an old lookout tower commands a panoramic view of the surrounding area.

[8] There is no road to Bagby Guard Station; visitors must hike a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) trail from a Forest Service parking area to get to the site.

Bagby is normally open year around, however, access roads to the trailhead may be close after some winter snow storms.
