Loon Lake Mountain Fire Observation Station
The Loon Lake Mountain Fire Observation Station is a historic fire observation station located on Loon Lake Mountain at Loon Lake in Franklin County, New York;it is in the Debar Mountain Wild Forest. The station and contributing resources include a, steel-frame lookout tower erected in 1917; it replaced a wooden fire tower that was constructed in 1912. 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 Aermotor Corporation and provided a front line of defense in preserving the Adirondack Forest Preserve from the hazards of forest fires.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
