Azure Mountain Fire Observation Station
Azure Mountain Fire Observation Station, Fire observation station in Franklin County, New York.
The steel-frame observation tower rises 35 feet above Azure Mountain, positioned at an elevation of 2,500 feet within the Adirondack Mountains.
The Aermotor Corporation constructed this steel tower in 1918 to replace the original wooden structure built by the Conservation Commission in 1914.
The Azure Mountain Friends organize an annual Summit Interpreter program, offering students scholarships in exchange for volunteering at the station.
Visitors can reach the observation station through hiking trails in the Debar Mountain Wild Forest, with 8,000 to 10,000 people visiting annually.
The inscription 'W. H. Finley, Keeseville, 7/29/1918' remains visible on one of the tower legs, marking its construction date.
