This fire look-out tower is at the Shady Lake Recreation Area in the Ouachita National Forest. A gravel road leads from the gated entrance on the mountain road to the fire tower at top, but there are no posted hours. If you have to walk the entire way up to the tower, it might take about 45 minutes. The tower is two levels, and completely open on all sides to allow a 360 view of the forest. The bottom level is made of stone, and has a door-size opening and a window. The upper level and balcony are made of wood. A very crude outhouse is near the the tower if you need a facility.
Shady Lake is a beautiful place to visit in the summer. Boating, fishing, camping, picnicking, and hiking are available here.
