Olympic National Park, Washington

Storm King Ranger Station

The Storm King Ranger Station is located on Barnes Point on Lake Crescent off of U.S. Route 101 in Washington about 15 miles west of Port Angeles, Washington. The ranger station is part of the Olympic National Park. The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 2007 as part of the Olympic National Park Multiple Property Listing.

Storm King Ranger Station is an excellent example of early North Peninsula log construction is one of the oldest remaining structures in Olympic National Park, and possibly the oldest extant building in the Lake Crescent area. Its historical association
with Chris Morgenroth, an early homesteader and forest ranger on the peninsula also contribute to its significance. Morgenroth's testimony before Congress helped in the establishment of Olympic National Park. In December 1981, the keeper of the National Register determined the cabin eligible for nomination to the National Register.
