| Description |
This Fire Protection Facility was staffed from 1918/1919 until 1964. A growing concern for fire protection in forested areas in the early 20th century resulted in the construction of lookouts and the placement of fire location devices on high sites with wide views throughout the northwest. Located on the Table Rock Trail, the original lookout was built in 1918 by the predecessors of the Clackamas-Marion Fire Protection Agency (C-MFPA) on top of 4338 foot elevation Pechuck. It consisted only of a rangefinder set upon a four log post stand. A small cabin of wood planks with a shake roof was built nearby to provide living quarters for personnel. Until 1932, the only access to the lookout site was by way of the Table Rock Trail through what is now Table Rock Wilderness. A volunteer organization, the Pechuck Look Outs, based in Molalla has partnered with BLM to assist in management of the lookout which is open to the public for visitation and overnight use. The establishment of the National Historic Lookout Register took place in 1990 and the World Lookout Register in 1992.
