General info

The Double Arrow Lookout offers guests a chance to see the Seeley valley and the adjacent Swan Mountains from a different and unique vantage point, high above the hillside. The tower contains a few modern amenities, including electricity, but allows guests to personalize their visits with their own supplies. A variety of recreational opportunities exist in the surrounding mountains, but the view is usually what attracts people to the tower. The lookout is a 14-by-14 structure atop a 20-foot tower. It was built in 1933 and staffed by Forest Service employees until the mid-80s when it was opened to the public for recreation purposes. The tower is now listed on the National Historic Lookout Register.

General Information:

Double Arrow has an exterior stairway leading to a platform with a covered walkway all the way around the window-encased living quarters. The facility has electric lights, heat, a cookstove, and a small refrigerator. An outdoor vault toilet is a short distance from the tower.

Two single beds and two portable cots are provided, able to sleep up to four people. Camping and sleeping are not allowed in the area around and below the lookout. Cell phone service is
