The Lake Mountain Lookout Complex is a 49-foot tall lookout tower erected in 1926 approximately 20 miles (32 kilometres) east of Lakeside, Arizona. It overlooks a portion of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest.^[2] The lookout was staffed by a forest ranger who was stationed at the nearby Los Burros Ranger Station, from which they would ride out to the lookout each day.^[3] The tower was constructed atop Lake Mountain, at the 8,250 foot elevation,^[4] by the Aermotor Windmill Company.^[5]
