The last steel fire tower in the Bear Mountain-Harriman State Park, Jackie
Jones Lookout was constructed in 1928 by the Palisades Interstate Park
Commission, who operated the facility until 1931. From that time the
facility was operated by Forest Fire Control until it closed in the 1970s. The 60’ Aermotor
LS-40 tower with 7’x7’ metal
cab features windows of an unusual design.
