Swede Mountain, a summit in the Adirondacks of eastern New York, is historically identified with the fire observation station on its summit. Fire protection defined the site in the early twentieth century, beginning with a wooden tower built by the Conservation Commission in 1912 and followed in 1918 by a forty-seven-foot Aermotor LS40 steel tower, part of the Adirondack forest-fire observation network. The tower’s fire-watch use ended in 1968. Warren County later acquired the tower and a small parcel in 1995 for radio equipment. In 2021, the tower was rehabilitated and a trail built from New York State Route 8 at North Pond, reopening it to the public as a historic lookout and destination.
