Sproul Hill

Sproul Hill is a mountain in the Finger Lakes region of New York.

The tower ceased fire lookout operations at the end of 1988, and remains on the mountain and is open to the public.

In 1941, the Civilian Conservation Corps built a 67-foot-6-inch-tall (20.57 m) International Derrick steel fire lookout tower on the mountain.

The tower, like many in the Southern Tier wasn't intended to be part of the system of towers in the Adirondack Mountains or Catskill Mountains, but to protect large areas of State Forest lands.

Due to increased use of aerial detection, the tower ceased fire lookout operations at the end of the 1988 season and was officially closed in early 1989.
