Lookout Tower
A 60 foot tall abandoned naval observation tower sits on top of the forested summit, well hidden from view by the taller trees of the surrounding forest. It was likely built in the early 1940s during World War 2 and was manned until at least 1944. It was presumed to be destroyed until being rediscovered in the 2000s. Despite being built during wartime, its primary use was as a typical fire lookout. The structure still stands today but it is highly discouraged to visit due to being located on non-public government land.{{Cite web|url=https://www.willhiteweb.com/washington_fire_lookouts/kitsap_lookout/tower_399.htm|title=Kitsap Lookout - Washington Fire Lookouts|website=www.willhiteweb.com|accessdate=April 30, 2025}}
