Kennaday Peak Lookout was the last fully functional lookout on the Brush Creek Ranger District of the Medicine Bow National Forest. This structure was one of six built in the area. The first structure was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, and the current tower was constructed in 1964. The living space is 15’x 15’ and can accommodate up to 4 people with two bunk beds. The lookout tower is equipped with a propane heater, solar lights, propane cookstove, cookware and utensils for eating and cooking. There is no indoor plumbing, but a vault toilet is located outside. Water is not provided and visitors are responsible for providing their own water for the duration of their stay. Ease of access to the towers can be difficult and a 4WD may be needed. Kennaday Peak Lookout is on the National Historic Registry and offers 360 degree views of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest.
