Swan Guard Station
The Swan Guard Station is the oldest building on the Flathead National Forest. Constructed in 1909 as a remote ranger station, the cabin is located at the south end of Swan Lake near the Village of Swan Lake. Fully restored and reconstructed the cabin comfortably sleeps ten people. The cabin is road accessible, has electricity but no interior plumbing. A toilet and hand pump for water is located just outside the cabin. A propane heater in the living room provides heat for the cabin. There is one bedroom downstairs with a single bed and two upstairs with two double beds and four single beds. Max occupancy is 8 people. The cabin is not currently accessible for the disabled.
