The town historical of Carlton, located in Washington State, along the Methow River was established in 1907. Most people traveled to Carlton by way of steamboat up the Columbia River to Ives Landing between 1896 and 1900. At that time, the central ferry's landing was changed to Pateros. Others came by train, horseback, stagecoach, or by their own horses and wagons into the area. By 1927 it was decided where new highway No. 12 would be built and where a new bridge would cross the Methow River. Since the highway would be a quarter of a mile from the original town of Carlton, they decided to move the buildings closer, so the new highway would go right pass their front doors. The first school to be built in Carlton Washington was completed in 1907. A new school was built in the early 1920s and still stands today and is used as a private residence. Locust shade trees were originally planted in Carlton, many of which or still standing on the property today. Locust Lodge was named for these trees.

The small town of Riverside is just a short drive from Liar' Cove Resort. There you will find antique stores, a western wear shop and plenty of historical buildings. Once a bustling river town, the early prosperity of Riverside was due entirely to its road location, freight teams and boats using it as a convenient stopover for loading and unloading. The Okanogan River flowed past Riverside and in the spring it swelled with melting snow from the mountains. That was the period of feverish activity and a fleet of loaded steamers brought a steady stream of supplies to Riverside, the center for a vast area of mining and farming communities. As soon as floodwaters subsided, river traffic was finished for another year. The railroad bypassed the town in 1914, a blow to Riverside that depended on road and river traffic for survival. Now a small community thrives, nestles between Omak and Tonasket just off Highway 97. Distance from Liar's Cove- 15 miles.

From the early day trappers who sought the hides of the game that teemed in the area, to the modern-day "pioneer" looking for country unspoiled by the sights and sounds of the city, Tonasket is a land for all-the-seasons lover. Surrounded by mountains, the Okanogan River, various streams, lakes and valleys, this is a great place to visit.
