Description
Erected by the men of the CCC Paint Lake Camp in 1933, Tepee Lookout Tower is one of the last of a network that covered the Ottawa National Forest in northern Michigan. The 100' Aermotor steel tower with 7' x 7' metal cab was accessed with an outside ladder. It was staffed until the late 1960s. The groundhouse and CCC garage are gone.
