Catfish Fire Tower in New Jersey

Catfish Fire Tower, built in 1922, in Section 6 of the AT in New Jersey, between Rattlesnake Spring to the north and Camp Road, Mohican Outdoor Center to the south. The elevation atop the mountain here is 1,565 feet.

I climbed the steps to just below the tower's cabin, which is locked, for a great view of the trail's route in both directions.
