Yaak Mtn. Lookout Rental

Amazing family trip with our young boys!! We had an epic experience. Getting our gear up into the tower was a lot of work but totally worth it. Will definitely do this again!!

Great view, cab and outhouse. Got water for washing/ cleaning from Roosevelt city park in Troy while at the tower.
Thank you USFS for this facility.

This was our first time to Yaak and it did not disappoint. Was a little nervous after the burn came through a few years before but everything is starting to grow back pretty well. The lookout is definitely one of the higher ones so if stairs are not your friend I would advise against. Beds were pretty comfortable and all windows were operational to get a nice cross breeze in the LO. Pit toilet was out of TP so bring extra rolls. Pretty good cell service. Lots of birds around the lookout as the flying ants were out. Couple groups of Grouse were not shy and would come right up to our chairs while down at the base of the LO. The road up was fantastic and the gate was at the beginning of the access road and we saw no visitors. If its hot out and you need some respite from the peak, KIlbrennan Lake Campground was only about a 30 min drive back down the lookout. There is a small parking area and a little boat launch. We set up our chairs and were able to cool off (and clean off) in the lake. Beautiful area. Love Montana! Thanks to everyone that keeps these going! Enjoy!

It was a great stay! The lookout was fully outfitted with cookware and the propane stove and heater (after getting the pilot light on) made the stay cozy. Beds were comfy and the views were amazing! Can’t wait to go back!
