(MCCORMICK’S CREEK) - Restoration work on the historic fire tower at McCormick’s Creek State Park has started.
The work at the tower itself is estimated to be completed in 12 to 15 weeks, depending on the weather.
Trail 4 will be partially open during construction, but access to the tower's area will be closed for safety reasons.
Built in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the fire tower was in operation until 1967.
Afterward, it got a second life as an observation point.
The Friends of McCormick's Creek State Park group, in cooperation with the Department of Natural Resources has been actively promoting a fundraising effort, which stands at almost $95,000.
