It's unfortunate but the tower's cabin on this tower is closed, as it's used for communications equipment.

This is a lot better then some of the fire tower foundations like Wakely. In part this is due to a community group maintaining the foundation.

They have a big sign, so that you don't feel confused when all you see is the foundation of the observer's cabin that was burned down a long time ago.

The cabin the fire warden lived in years ago, is not located on top of Owl's Head, but below it on the shoulder. It's a 1/4 mile hike to the top, and you accent about 200 more feet, up the pointly little head. The cabin was probably located here, so the warden could meet visitors, and escort them to the top.
