About this property

The Edgar Rock Lodge is a rustic house in Yakima County, Washington. The house was used as a way station on the road over Chinook Pass to Bumping Lake. It was built by prospector Dick Darlington around 1904, who named the house after a nearby rock formation. When construction of Bumping Lake Dam started in 1901, Darlington worked as a cook on the dam project, and the lodge was used as one of several way stations for supplies that were brought to the remote dam site on horse and wagon. When the road was paved in 1916 the lodge continued to serve as a stopping point for travelers.
