The White River Patrol Cabin is the oldest structure in the White River area. With the construction of the White River Campground in 1923, there became a need for a ranger station at the site. Built in 1927 by the National Park Service, White River Campground Ranger Station was regarded as a patrol cabin because it was on the Wonderland Trail.

It was one of the several backcountry patrol cabins constructed on the popular Wonderland Trail, a policy begun under Superintendent Roger W. Toll (1919-20) and expanded during the superintendency of Major O.A. Tomlinson (1923-1941).

The White River Patrol Cabin is located on the edge of the C and D campground loops near the Campfire Circle in the White River Campground. It is a short 500-foot walk from the day use parking area.
