This is looking backwards, towards the Sargent Ponds Wilderness, Lake Eaton, and the timber lands between here and Tupper Lake.

Part of the trail is well worn, and is on open rock face. The good news however is with the lush tree cover, you don't have to worry about acrophobia up here.

It says it was placed in 1942 by USGS. It's right below the fire tower proper.

The area around Owls Head is worn down to rock. There probably is room to land a helicopter up here in an emergency.

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.
