Cedar Snags is a historic landscape area in Shoshone County, Idaho, where stumps of cedar trees remain from the Great Fire of 1910.[2] The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]

The snags are in a swampy area along the Saint Joe River's North Fork, near Bullion Creek, north of Avery, Idaho.[2]
Salvage logging was done after 1910, but numerous large snags survived from 1910 to 1984 unchanged. The grove "stands as significant evidence of a vast forest that was destroyed by intense heat."[2]
