It should be noted that  this is not  a natural feature of the lake, like Troxel Point. It is man-made modest overlook on Highway 139, above the old Stone Ranch. In 1929, the Lassen-Modoc Joint Highway District No. 14 was formed to construct a highway from Susanville to Big Valley and the ultimate goal to the Oregon border. Due to lack of funding the highway was constructed in segments. In 1930, W.C. Colley was hired to construct the 8.37 mile segment leaving Willow Creek Valley to the Stone Ranch at Eagle Lake at a cost of $165.598.

It was only fitting that the first segment of highway, would be the last to be completed. In 1956, the last phase to necessary to complete Joint Highway District No. 14 was paving of the road between between Willow Creek Valley to the Stone Ranch. On this section of road, at Colley Point, overlooking Eagle Lake, a plaque was erected as part of the dedication ceremonies held on August 26, 1956. In December 1959, Joint Highway No. 14 was designated as State Highway Route 139.
