| Fall Creek Falls Lookout Tower |
| Off of Highway 284 in the park, Firetower Road leads to this Lookout Tower within the park boundries of Fall Creek Falls. Off of Firetower Road, take the only right off of the road, go up a steep incline, and you will see the tower at the top of the hill. Originally built at Chickamauga in 1897, the tower was moved to Fall Creek Falls in 1943 for use as a fire lookout for the area. The tower was originally 100 feet tall, but now stands at 80 feet. Visitors are allowed to take the steps to the top of the tower, but must do so at their own risk. Be careful of the railing at the top, and stay off of the wooded boards. There is plenty of room at the top to walk around on the metal floor. Fall Creek Falls, the Tennessee Department of Agriculture, and the Tennessee Division of Forestry accept no responsibility for those who decide to take the steps to the top. An administrator's private residence is located directly behind the lookout tower. The lookout tower is closed at dark. |
