While a bit more remote than some other Fire Towers in the Catskills, a trip to the Hunter Mountain Fire Tower is well worth your time and effort as its provides some amazing views. The tower is located near the summit of Hunter Mountain at just under 4,040 feet in elevation. The sixty feet of tower bring you close to 4,100 feet and from here, you are well above the trees of Hunter Mountain and you have a view that's only limited by the conditions.
As with the other Fire Towers in the area, the only access to the Hunter Mountain Fire Tower is via hiking trails, or in the case of one trail, a hiking trail that also functions as a horse trail. There are several different trails that make different approaches to the mountain at various levels of difficulties.
