Snowy Mountain Fire Observation Station is a historic fire observation station located on the summit of Snowy Mountain at Indian Lake in Hamilton County, New York. The station includes a 45-foot-tall (14 m), steel-frame lookout tower erected in 1917, a jeep trail from NYS Rte 30 to the base of the mountain, the remains of an observer`s cabin and an adjacent spring house reported to have been built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936. There are four contributing resources: the tower, trail, observer`s cabin ruin, and spring house. The tower is a prefabricated structure built by the Aermotor Corporation and provided a front line of defense in preserving the Adirondack Forest Preserve from the hazards of forest fires. The jeep trail is now largely abandoned and replaced by a hiking trail relocated to higher and drier ground. Of the observer`s cabin and the spring house, little physical evidence remains. Both were removed during the 1980s.
