This roughly 60' observation tower allows you to see down in the park for the reservior, across the way (NW) to the firetower, and SE towards Johnson City. Better views in winter as the surrounding trees are growing too high.
Take the park gravel road up or for a greater challenge, Cliffside trail. The "Two Towers Redone" cache also starts from this tower.
