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.

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