About SURVEYOR'S PEAK
Located near the Mallard-Larkins Pioneer Area Attractions, Surveyors Lookout is perched atop a 30-foot tower, providing phenomenal views of Snow Peak and the surrounding mountains. The cabin is listed on the National Historic Lookout Register and offers visitors a unique camping experience in the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. The original pole structure lookout was built in 1931 as part of a network of lookouts used to spot fires in the Upper St. Joe Country. The original lookout was replaced with the current treated timber structure in 1964.
