You can live stream video of the views from the Elliot Lake Fire Tower. Watch now...
The Fire Tower Lookout sits atop Fire Tower Rd, the highest point in the immediate Elliot Lake area, and is open seasonally. The lookout is home to the original ranger tower and cabin built in 1954, and is featured along the Deer Trail Driving Tour.

Views
From the observation deck, visitors can enjoy a 180-degree panoramic view of scenic wilderness, our Elliot Lake subdivision and main street, and spot former mine sites that are now returned to their natural state. On clear days, you can see as far as Manitoulin Island on the North Channel of Lake Huron.
A recreation of the cupola that used to sit atop the 100 ft tower is accessible from the parking lot, and offers even more photo opportunities.
Ranger's Heritage Centre
The Ranger's Heritage Centre is not open to the public for the 2024 season—thank you for your understanding.
The Fire Ranger’s Heritage Centre is the restored ranger’s cabin which housed the tower watchman and his family during fire watch months. This cabin now acts as a seasonal satellite location for the Elliot Lake Museum where you can pick up souvenirs, snacks, and brochures as well as historical information on the fire tower and surrounding area.
