Arrowhead Visitor Center

Arrowhead Lodge stood at this site after the Brafford family built it in 1936 with logs from the Chambers Lake sawmill. The lodge and cabins offered visitors scenery and solitude, and for many generations it also served Poudre Canyon residents as a community center. Lola and Stan Case bought the lodge soon after World War II and operated it for 39 years. It became a gathering place for church services, 4-H clubs, pancake suppers, parties, pie socials, and local talent shows. Over the years, the Cases added the dining room, porches, a new cabin, and kitchen. With help from volunteers of the FALCONS and the U.S. Forest Service, the lodge was designated a National Historic District and is used today as a Forest Service visitor center, providing current information, educational programs, and hospitality during the summer season.
