History
1912 – Camp Lookout
1916 – Staffed by William Mackay (*Elk River Sentinel)
1918 – Platform tower and log cabin
1921 – Staffed by Phil Canton & Lew Crampton (*Clearwater Republican)
1926 – Cabin replaced (previous cabin was burned)
1933 – 30′ Wooden tower with live-in cab
1948 – 80′ Steel army surplus tower erected
A rather unique aspect to this tower, is that the original live-in cab was installed at the 30′ level of the new 80′ tower.
The tower was actively staffed into the 1990’s and is now on emergency status.
