The story
Bald Mountain is a 1,647-foot-tall (502 m) mountain in Lewis County in the state of New York. It is located north of Oswegatchie Camp in the town of Croghan. In 1919, a 47-foot-tall (14 m) steel fire lookout tower was built on the mountain. Due to increased use of aerial detection, the tower was closed at the end of the 1970 season. The tower was later knocked over by the private owner due to liability concerns. The public can visit the site, but due to no tower there is no view.
