DEER RIDGE LOOKOUT
The first lookout constructed here was a gable-roofed cupola cabin in the 1920's. In 1935, a 20' pole tower with L-4 cab replaced it. This in turn was replaced by a 40' pole tower with L-4 cab in 1949. The present 41' treated timber tower with R-6 flat cab, built in 1965, was last used for fire detection in 1982. It is presently on the Recreation Rental program.
