It's great. It does list the towers but they are hard to find since you only give a list of place names and there aren't any directions to reach the towers that are in my area (Thunder Bay). It has been a fun treasure hunt trying to locate and visit the fire towers in my area. Thank you for the information you provide. Susan Hi Clay, Yes I have been to your site lots! It’s great.

This route is MUCH easier and would recommend this way instead. Take Hwy 590 to the Boreal Rd. Drive this for 21.3 kms at which point you will see an old bush road on the left (not well used). Drive this for only .6 km at which point the road is dug up. Here is a good place to park. Follow the old road over the berms and a small bridge. If driving an ATV watch for a hidden wash out (in the first km). At 2.2 kms stay to the right and follow all the way to the tower. It is a total of 4.7 kms from where you park. This is a very easy trail to follow. Here is the “alternate” route into the tower. This route is MUCH easier and would recommend this way instead.

Not sure how u got to thinking all the towers were removed. In Northern Ontario almost every tower still stands. About 200 remain still erect standing proud just awaiting visitors. My site lists them all with photos. @ C Aegard,
