The story
Moose River Mountain is a 2,208-foot-tall (673 m) mountain in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. It is located west of Old Forge in the town of Webb in Herkimer County. In 1919, a 60-foot-tall (18 m) steel fire lookout tower was built on the mountain. The tower ceased fire lookout operations at the end of the 1970, and was later removed in 1977.
