Owls Head Mountain Firetower (Long Lake) 📍

This portion north of NY 28 Corridor and Fulton Chain of Lakes is relatively flat, wild, and many portions privately owned as timberland.

Owls Head is not the quietest mountain out there. Throughout the day, tourist float planes for hire, fly on and off Long Lake, just to north of mountain. They fly quiet low, as they are making the decent back to Long Lake.

As you climb the tower, there are some views to the North-West. This shows the broad timber lands around Sabbist Scout Reservation, along with William Whitney Wilderness.

I always like pictures of the angles and construction of the fire tower. While common after climbing so many, fire towers have a lot of character in their structural steel.

Just looking down from the fire tower at the edge of the mountain.
