FLORIDA LOOKOUTS
CALDESI ISLAND
Pinellas County
This tower was not used as a fire tower, but as a tourist view point tower. In 1969 the 60-foot steel tower was donated to the Caladesi Island State Park by the Florida Board of Forestry. The tower was modified and erected by Park Rangers. By the early 1980's the harsh weather and environmental conditions had deteriorated the structure to the point that removal was necessary.
