Built in 1890, this uniquely designed depot chiefly served as the gateway to this early recreation area, but also to transport local products to the markets of Seattle. Its atypical design was the result of this need for a rural combined freight-passenger depot, with lavish decorations to reflect the holiday spirit of vacationers from Seattle. Today, in addition to serving the heritage line, it also houses exhibits on early settler life and construction of the railway, as well as a gift shop.
This hydroelectric power plant, built in 1899, is the first hydroelectric power plant in the world built entirely underground. Exhibits are housed inside a historic carpenter shop and train depot.

The boardwalk passes by a wetland and Power Plant 2 to a viewpoint near the waterfall pool. There is also a path for river access further downstream.
