This tower was once located on top of Little Snowball Mountain, but has since been deconstructed and rebuilt in Big Ivy, NC. It's the only tower that doesn't require a hike (it's in the middle of the community park) for completion of the Lookout Tower Challenge. If you are interested in seeing this little guy, google map Big Ivy Community Center and it's right there. I drove past it on a few adventures not even realizing it was right there.

Tower number 17 of 24 for me!

Hello,
just browsing around on the computer tonight. Loved finding your website! Worked at the old Spruce Pine firetower in Mitchell County, N.C. for 3 fire seasons. Sadly, most old towers are no longer in use- as there is very little wild, open land left to watch. Grew up in Bryson City, N.C., but now live in Charlotte, N.C. MISS the mountains VERY much- don't intend on spending rest of my life here in the city. Little Snowball tower- near Craggy Gardens?? Be in touch! e-mail address billcr26@gmail.com (704)392-1825 My name is Bill Randolph.
