Lookout History
In 1928, the Camp Creek Bald Lookout was built with a 14x14 foot cab on a 21 foot steel tower.

In the 1960s, one of two prototypes round cabs was installed.

By the 2000s, the cab was not active and falling into disrepair. A partial restoration by the U.S. Forest Service and a local radio club kept it going.
