Driving directionsFrom Eureka, Montana, take Highway 37 south 15 miles to the Koocanusa Bridge. At the west side of the bridge, turn right on Road 92 and proceed to Boulder Creek Road 337. Turn left and follow approximately 8 miles to Webb Mountain on Road 7179. At the ridge crest, turn left. The gate to the lookout is visible at this point. The lookout is about 1 mile beyond the gate, and the last quarter mile is rough; vehicles with good clearance are recommended. Combination opens both the gate and cabin door.
The roads to Webb Mountain Lookout are well-maintained and accessible by car. However, the last quarter mile of the access road is steep, rocky, and not suited for low-clearance vehicles, requiring vehicles with good clearance.
