First used as a detection point by the Forest Service when a 40' pole tower with L-4 cab was built in 1933, ownership was later transferred to the State of Washington. The present 40' timber tower with DNR live-in cab, built in 1966, had stood abandoned for several years. A private party purchased the tower in the mid-1990's and has a special use permit to leave it on site. Known lookout personnel: 1952: Robert Covage; 1953-1954: not staffed; 1955: Gladys Hill; 1956: Frank Cook; 1956-1958: Bettijane Rosenoff; 1960-1961: Barbara Allen; 1962: Bob Christensen.
