The Hickory Ridge Fire Tower, located in the Charles C. Deam Wilderness Area, is a historic Aermotors type fire lookout tower standing at 110 feet tall. Constructed in 1936 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the tower served as a crucial vantage point for spotting and responding to wildfires in the region for over 40 years.
Designated as a National Historic Lookout Register site in 1990, the tower now welcomes visitors year-round as an observation tower, offering panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. With 133 steel steps leading to the top cab, the Hickory Ridge Fire Tower stands as a testament to the area's firefighting history and the importance of early fire detection.
