Description
Bald Rock Lookout was built in the 1930s and removed in the mid-1970s. Its former site is now maintained by the US Forest Service as Bald Rock Picnic Area. For a short time, part of this tower and cabin were used as a press box at South Laurel High School but they have since been removed.
