Please note: The Ochoco National Forest is considering increasing the rental fee at Cold Springs Guard Station, effective 2010. The increased recreation fee would enable us to better maintain and preserve this historic facility, provide better service to the users, and enhance and protect the naturalness of the area. We encourage comments or questions regarding this proposed change: Ochoco National Forest, Lookout Mountain District, Prineville OR (541) 416-6500"
