The group that did the renovations mans the tower on weekends between Memorial Day and Labor day. My brother was the "tower steward" the first weekend in August, he came down and stayed with us in Eagle Bay on the Saturday night. He'll do a 10+ hour day on the tower, then drive back to the west side of Rochester! Ah, to be young again!
It should be remembered that the trail crosses private lands, and is closed during deer season.
