Owls Head Mountain Firetower (Long Lake) 📍

The view of Long Lake is partially blocked by the small hills that make up most of country in the Sargent Ponds Wild Forest.

This is another picture of Long Lake, a little bit farther north, with the shoulder/col of Owls Head visible in the foreground.

Blue Mountain is another fire tower / mountain that is visible from Owls Head. Located about 10 miles away, in the foreground are Minnow Pond and Mud Pond.

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.
