Kane Mountain Fire Observation Station

The Kane Mountain Fire Observation Station is a historic fire observation station located on Kane Mountain at Caroga in Fulton County, New York.

The station includes a 60-foot-tall (18 m), steel-frame lookout tower erected in 1925, an observer's cabin built about 1960, and foot trail.

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.

This is a shorter ascent to the top, however its difficulty is higher due to a steeper grade and rocks.
