The Loon Lake Mountain Fire Observation Station is a historic
Loon Lake in Franklin County, New York in the Debar Mountain Wild Forest. The station and contributing resources include a 35-foot-tall (10.7 m), steel-frame lookout tower erected in 1917; it replaced a wooden fire tower that was constructed in 1912.[2]
The tower has been unused since 1971, and the stairs have been removed to keep people from climbing it.
The tower is a prefabricated structure built by the
Adirondack Forest Preserve from the hazards of forest fires.[3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
