Love's Lookout Fire Tower - You are looking for a nano so BYOP. Please put back in same location so that everyone can enjoy the hunt.
In the 1980s, an earthquake, one of the few to occur in East Texas, damaged the amphitheater and made it unsafe for public use. The Texas Forest Service also built on the hill a forest fire lookout tower that functioned into the 1980s until fire-spotting airplanes made the tower obsolete. The metal structure still stands on the hill, mostly as a historical relic, but park visitors are not permitted to climb its stairs.Perched atop a scenic forested ridge beside U.S. Highway 69 north of Jacksonville, Love's Lookout offers perhaps the grandest view in East Texas.
Visitors can scan a horizon that stretches into several counties.There are two great times to visit the hilltop is in the spring, when the dogwoods and other spring flowers are in bloom, and the autumn, when the hillside is ablaze with red, purple, yellow and golden foliage.
