Originally built in the 1920s by the CCC (Civil Conservation Corps) on the eastern side of Seneca State Forest, Thorny Mountain Fire Tower (Lookout) was reconstructed to its present location in 1935 to provide better coverage of the Greenbrier River valley. The 53’ steel tower with 12x12 live-in wooden cabin and catwalk was renovated in 2015 by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources and now includes overnight rentals.
We snagged this gem for two nights of adventure during peak season this year but don't get too excited for your first visit because reservations are booked over 1 year out!

My first job out of high school was working a tower in WV. Stayed with it for 9 years. It was the best job I ever had. One of my most prized possessions is a photograph of all the District 4 forestry people together at a "Tower Observers meeting" in the 80s. What a wonderful group of people.

Amazing! I love lookout towers. Architecturally so simple yet everyone appreciates their structure, height, and views. Excellent spot cheers for sharing.

Man, you aren’t kidding when you talk about how hard it is to book one of these. I’ve been trying to book a tower close to me and have tried off and on for the better part of eight years. I’ll try for a couple months, then give up for awhile and try it again. Maybe one day.

How amazing would it be to be in that tower at night and hear blood curdling screams coming from the forest below.

It's to easy to get at that's why it's so busy. If you can drive anywhere near 18k from any fire lookout it's a shit show, I like the more beaten off the path kinda fire lookouts try a 8hr + hike. You'll be 💯 alone always lol
