This is an essential Cave Run Lake experience: hiking to the top of Tater Knob. You can’t say you’ve ‘done’ Cave Run, unless you’ve watched the sunset from this last-standing fire tower in the Daniel Boone national forest. Built in 1934, the tower was decommissioned in the 1970’s when aircraft replaced fixed observation points.<\/p>\n

The tower was restored 1993 and today is on the National Register of Historic Places. The area has an interpretive trail that explains how fire towers were used as a network to triangulate fires. Most visitors admire the scenery from the tower, which is especially nice tower Chestnut Cliffs; however, there’s a secluded cliffline perch just northeast of the tower’s base. The tower parking area is centrally located in Pioneer Weapons to complete a figure-8 loop among the 20+ miles of trail between the Lake and Glady Trailhead.<\/p>\n
