Description
Beech Mountain has been the site of a lookout in Maine’s Acadia National Park since 1943. The present prefab steel tower was built between 1960-62 in a project called ‘Operation Beech.” The lookout is now staffed by park rangers only during high fire danger. During the summer park volunteers attend the tower so hikers may climb the structure and visit the cab.
