First used about 1920 with a tree platform tower, a 30' pole tower with L-4 cab replaced it in 1934. After having survived bears eating up the tower legs, and vandals taking chainsaws to it, the tower was replaced in 1984 with the present 20' concrete base topped with a modified flat cab which makes it resemble an aircraft control tower. It has not been regularly staffed for several years. The lookout is currently available on the Recreation Rental program.
