"Four Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camps were located in the Buchanan State Forest. During the Great Depression of the 1930's, several hundred young men lived here and constructed forest roads and trails that still serve us today.

Camp No. S-52 was built in 1933 near Oregon Creek. Many improvements to the area resulted from the hard work of these young men. During World War II the site was converted into a prisoner-of-war camp for German prisoners. It closed but was re-opened to serve as quarters for conscientious objectors."
