One noticeable structure within the rest area is the Balloon Bomb 'Beaver Board', one of many official historical markers produced by the Oregon Travel Information Council. There is also a relocated fire lookout tower in the back corner of the rest area and mentions that it was once located on top of a nearby mountain peak and replaced with a larger lookout tower.
