Documenting Minnesota's remaining forest fire lookout towers. Tower names are derived from Mn DNR, USGS maps and NGS/MnDOT survey notes. Elevations are approximate. Some of the towers are reservation towers. The DNR lists 46 towers in their inventory. Some of the towers I have listed here are on private land and/or are privately owned.
I have noted towers that are open for climbing. I believe there are now (September 2012) perhaps 4-5 more towers to visit yet. Some of those are reservation towers and may not be accessible.
More tower information is available at: http://minnesotafiretower.blogspot.com/

That is one tall tower. I'd bet it moved pretty good in the wind.

A conversation along that line occurred in the house regarding bidding on the Lawson tower but involved one party submitting to having his "head examined."

I received a suggestion regarding the map placement of this tower. I must have dismissed the suggestion inadvertently but do believe I had the tower misplaced. I think it is now correct. Apologies to the person who made the suggestion.

Yes, the map labels are misleading.
