area is a popular dispersed recreation use area with hiking, recreational
shooting, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and camping. The lookout is a
unique structure constructed of native granite which is situated at over

Corps. The cab measures 14 feet by 14 feet and is completely lined by windows
on each side and surrounded by a catwalk, all of which sit on top of a one
story stone base.

## Recreation
