CLEAR LAKE BUTTE LOOKOUT
A 100' wooden observation tower was built in 1932, replaced by the present 41' treated timber tower with R-6 flat cab in 1962. Listed on the National Historic Lookout Register, it is staffed every summer, and available on the Recreation Rental program in the winter. There was also a crow's nest tree lookout to the southeast with ruins still present.
