Pharaoh Mountain is a mountain in the Adirondack Mountains region of New York. It is located south of Paradox in Essex County and is contained within the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness Area. The mountain is the highest in the wilderness area, and is located upon the northwest shore of Pharaoh Lake.[2] In April 1910, a fire observation station was established on the mountain but no tower was needed due to lack of tree cover on the mountain. In 1918, a 35-foot-tall (11 m) Aermotor LS40 tower was built on the mountain. The tower ceased fire watching operations in 1987 and was removed in 1992.
