Easton Ridge Lookout Site

Located on a knob on Easton Ridge above Interstate 90, this tower was built in 1934. The following year on October 5, 1935, panorama photos were taken from the roof. The tower was a 40 foot cable-braced wooden tower with an L-4 cab. It was destroyed in 1948.

Access

Take the Lake Easton Exit off I-90. On the north side of the highway, take a right and follow road past the gas station. The road becomes East Sparks Road. Follow to the end where it becomes dirt, then follows the powerlines. Follow under and near powerlines for a few miles avoiding minor roads on the side. Eventually, a left at a Y will start taking you up the ridge. Use the map and good luck. The final short spur to the summit is narrow but not too bad.
