About Clear Creek Guard Station
Overview
Clear Creek Guard Station is located 20 miles northeast of Montpelier, Idaho. Not much is known about the history of this guard station site, but it's believed to have been an administrative site since 1910. Several different buildings have
either been built or relocated to this site since then. The current A-frame cabin was built by the Young Adult Conservation Corps in 1980.
The cabin is accessible by car when there is no snow. Guests should be prepared to snowmobile in winter, and they are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety. The snowmobile trip is about 5 miles from Crow Creek and 10 miles from Montpelier Reservoir.
The cabin provides some basic comforts, but guests will need to bring some of their own supplies and gear to make their stay comfortable.
Recreation
This area offers myriad recreational opportunities. Nearby trails attract mountain bikers, hikers and off-road vehicle enthusiasts (Idaho OHV safety message). Snowmobiling and cross-country skiing are popular
