North Point

(Last update April 11, 2006 ) 

General:  This a fire lookout site that has been converted to a small park/viewpoint, complete with an outhouse.  If the weather is clear you can see it from Hiway 101.  Look to the north when you are in the speedometer test area.  The road up is well maintained, and could be driven in a passenger car if you are careful.  There are numerous ditches cut across the road for drainage, but they don't present a problem if you take it slow.  The path to the north is blocked by a ridge.  You can continue up the road to a microwave site which is on higher ground, but trees would make it difficult to operate from.

Driving instructions.  Take Highway 101 west from Port Angeles.  Turn right (North) on West Snider Road and cross the bridge.  Go .4 mile and then left at sign.  “North Point Lookout”.    Go up FR 3040.
