Notes
There is no NGS mark at the current tower’s site. There is a mark just to the northeast: SUMMIT 1886 (HZ2346) which is an old one starting in 1914 or earlier. The 1931 update on its datasheet provides tower information: 1) There was “an old lookout tower of hard wood” at this site; 2) the modern tower existed in 1931.
We climbed it to the cab in 2021. It was under repair and not climbable in 2023. It’s right off a road and easy to find, but you should pay attention to whether roads are gated in certain seasons.
We walked to the Henryville tower as a moderately short diversion from the Knobstone Trail. Very nice.
