Eagle Scout Project High Knob Observation Tower Kiosk was donated and built by Eagle Scout Noah Huff of Troop 301 in Coeburn, VA.
Kiosk is at trailhead to high knob observation tower and Chief Benge Scout Trail. There are a you are here map in the kiosk explaining the hiking trail and area.
"Up until this point, though, visitors to the new tower had to interpret the summit themselves, since little signage existed to guide visitors around the mountain and its sweeping view. That’s all changed recently, however, thanks to the hard work of Noah Huff, a local resident and member of Boy Scout Troop 301 in Coeburn, Virginia. Huff has built an informational kiosk for the tower as part of his path to becoming an Eagle Scout…and it’s an impressive piece of work. Situated right at the beginning to the trail up to the new tower, the kiosk greets visitors with an array of maps and educational content through a partnership with the Jefferson National Forest’s Clinch Ranger District."
