Not to be confused with Willow Creek Station

Willow Point[1] is a former station located in Paradise Valley.

A 1967 source states that the Railroad Stage Line left Winnemucca, traveled to Willow Point Station in Paradise Valley, then over Paradise Hill Pass to the Quinn River Valley and then to Rattlesnake Creek in the Owyhee basin.[2]

Toll House is located to the south of Willow Point Station on the road to Winnemucca.

In 1911 Bob Robinson was the station keeper.[3]
