Description
The first lookout at Carpenter Mountain on the Willamette National Forest was an open sided fire fighter shelter built in 1917. In 1935 the CCCs constructed the current 68 year old station. It is the only remaining example of a hip-roof L-4 with catwalk on the Forest. Recently restored it is reached by a one-mile trail and is again in active service. It is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
