Mount Adams Fire Observation Station, Fire lookout station in Essex County, United States

The Mount Adams Fire Observation Station includes a 56-foot steel frame tower and support buildings situated at 3,250 feet elevation in New York State.

The station, established in 1917, replaced an earlier wooden structure from 1912 and operated until 1971 as part of New York's forest fire detection network.

The station represents early 20th-century forest conservation methods and remains a testament to traditional fire management practices in the Adirondack region.

Visitors reach the observation station through marked hiking trails, with the site offering educational displays about historical forestry practices and fire prevention.

The 1922 observers cabin at Mount Adams holds the distinction of being the oldest surviving fire observation cabin in New York State.
