We had a great time in the lookout. The weather failed to cooperate and we had cloudy skies, I had big plans for night sky photography... But the sunrise was stupendous.

I stayed over 4th of July weekend! Absolutely gorgeous lookout, very clean! Plenty of firewood and have to love a fridge, stove and lights!! It's like staying at the Hilton!! The views are magnificent and one of the best scenery I have seen. If you are hot, turn on the fan. If you are cold, turn on the heater.
Best vault toilet ever! Very clean, well stocked, large! Plenty of trails to follow in the area, especially to Tupper's lake, and plenty of wildlife to be seen. Firepit with ring was awesome!! Sunsets, sunrise and stars incredible! Not to mention the fireworks view on the 4th!
Only downside is you will get a ton of visitors!! I stopped counting at 50! A lot of groups and they over stayed their welcome. some tried to come inside the lookout even though I closed the hatch. I was sleeping and they were at the door trying to come in! Thank goodness there is a lock on the door!!
Other than that it was great! You have electricity and cell service. The road up only has a short hill that is kind of tricky as it is eroded, steep and angled. But it is only about 50 feet. The entire road is a bit rocky and eroded, so I feel like a higher clearance vehicle is a good choice. Great stay minus the crowds!

you are basically in a neighborhood with a house less than a tenth of a mile away, electromagnetic waves from 5G tower next to lookout causes nonstop headaches and nausea, views are mediocre, way too expensive for a totally lame experience, waste of time and money

Definitely high clearance access. Jeep was perfect! Would help to have arrow/sign on the final right turn. Lookout was excellent as always!

From the town of Seeley Lake, turn west on Riverview Drive halfway between MM 13 & 14. Drive straight on the paved road for 0.6 mile, where you will cross over the Clearwater River. Continue on the same road another 0.6 mile where the road will split, stay straight (do not go right). The road will narrow, become more rocky and rough. Proceed almost 1 mile where you will make a right turn. After another 0.2 mile, make another right turn. Go another 0.2 mile and turn right again on Forest Road 696. Continue 1 mile where you will come to the lookout gate. Proceed through the gate (using the gate combination number) and in 0.1 mile you will be at the lookout.
