Arab Mountain Fire Observation Station, Fire lookout station on Mount Arab in St. Lawrence County, United States.

The Arab Mountain Fire Observation Station incorporates a 40-foot steel frame tower and an observer cabin within a 3.7-acre forest area.

Built in 1918 by the Aermotor Corporation, this observation station served as a critical defense point against forest fires in the Adirondack Forest Preserve.

The station represents early twentieth-century fire prevention methods and remains an educational resource for understanding forest conservation practices.

Visitors can access the station through a 0.9-mile hiking trail that leads to the summit, offering views of the surrounding Adirondack Mountains.

The station maintains its original Aermotor Corporation steel frame structure, demonstrating the engineering standards of industrial-era observation towers.
