Near Litchfield Lake in the Bell Mount area at the top of a mountain lay ruins of an old fire tower foundation. The fire tower was used to detect fires in an area covering 100+ square miles of land. From this location you can see for miles making it a beautiful place for photographs. We looked down at the roaring spring river as an eagle flies above us. The fire tower foundation is made of six concrete blocks as well as holes that would have supported large wooden beams; suggesting a building or shack was built below the fire tower. The access road to the fire tower ruins is only accessible on foot.
