Mount Cammerer Lookout located on the northeastern end of the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park in Tennessee is an impressive two-story octagonal
stone structure built in 1937-1939 from materials on the site by the CCC.
Located near the Appalachian Trail, it is a popular if strenuous destination
for hikers. In spite of stunning views over the Tennessee and North Carolina
mountains, the site was not used for detection very long and was abandoned
in the 1960s. The lookout has been restored by the Friends of Great Smoky
Mountains National Park, the Panther Press and the National Park Service.
