Our night in the lookout was overall great! It’s so peaceful and beautiful to see the surrounding mountains and lakes!
When we first arrived, the main door handle fell off as soon as we tried to open the door. My son tried to fix it, but without an actual screw driver, I’m not sure how long it’ll last. Someone needs to fix it properly so that the door can be closed and locked while staying overnight.
I’m not sure what or why, but the surface of the table is extremely sticky. We tried cleaning it with soap and water, Clorox wipes, and also 409. Nothing helped. We were happy someone left a roll of paper towels and we used those to make a table cloth. But getting stuck paper off the table was a whole new chore when it was time to leave!
The wall heater inside was a really nice surprise! It was rainy and chilly the night we were there so it felt great! The refrigerator was super helpful! There’s no need to take a cooler up the steep stairs.
I recommend bringing your own sleep mat/cushion or an air pump for the one that is provided. There are two hard benches and two cots to sleep on.
The outside trap door is really heavy. Make sure to close both doors or ensure it’s hooked when open. The wind grabs it if left half open and it bangs shut.

What an awesome place to stay at with our family. It was the last leg of our trip and definitely wish we could have stayed longer. Having the amenities that a lot of other lookouts don’t have plus the privacy and views were amazing.

The lookout was easily accessible, CLEAN, and had so many amenities which included a nice stack of chopped firewood. The views were amazing! 10/10 would recommend this lookout!

All the great amenities and views you’d expect from a lookout! I did have two people plus their dog enter the lookout while I was napping… Out of seven lookouts, this was a first for me. I closed the trap door (there’s no way to lock it on the top side), and the door closed (the door knob is broken). Just beware of that, especially if you’re a single female staying alone! I also had some people walk up in the pitch dark, which was a little unsettling, but these visitors didn’t try entering the lookout. You can also hear all boating activity from the nearby lakes.

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.
