There is one picnic table, a pit toilet and water available. This is a fee access area and you can hike or fish with an entrance and fishing fee. If you are going to camp, you need to make reservations for a backcountry camp site, please see the Backcountry Page for details and forms.
Bechler River Soldier Station
The United States Army Administered Yellowstone National Park for 30 years. Solders built this house, ranger station and barn in 1911 to better protect the park and wildlife. They patrolled for poachers, fought forest fires and assisted visitors much the same way as Park Rangers do today. The Army stayed until the creation of the National Park Service in 1916. The exterior of these building has changed little since construction.
