The building was originally constructed in 1981 as a boathouse to store rafts, canoes, & kayaks for Far Flung Adventures, the first major outfitter to set up river guide operations in the area. It was first operated as a bar & restaurant in 2002 and has had multiple operators come and go. The bar has been closed since 2016, and the excitement among the community to have access to this hallowed hall once again is readily apparent.
