McGuire Lookout Cabin

Four person capacity; cost $20.00. This lookout was built in 1924 and actively used for detecting forest fires for over 30 years. Abandoned in the 1950's, it has recently been renovated by Forest Service crews. It is equipped with a wood stove, table, bench, shovel, bucket, and cleaning gear. Due to vandalism, however, these items are not guaranteed. The lookout is not wired for electricity and has an outside toilet. We recommend taking your own water as all open water is considered contaminated. Reservations are required. Trail access within 3.5 miles of Road No. 494. Normally plowed within 14 miles of cabin.
