THE COUNTY | 2020-2021
GONE FOR NOW
In early November 2019, a statewide
windstorm destroyed the beloved,
nearly 100-year-old, wooden lookout
cab sitting atop the 48-foot tall fire
tower on Deboullie Mountain. The
discovery by Red River Camps
owner Jen Brophy was described as
“getting a kick in the gut.” Luckily
no one was hurt in the incident, nor
was the nearby mountaintop cabin
popular with hikers. So while it’s
gone, for now, Maine’s Bureau of
Parks and Land will have a new cab
in place by 2021.
WIDE OPEN
These are the spaces meant
for everyone to enjoy.
