Lookout Tower

West Virginia

Pipestem Knob (elev. 2,960 ft.) is the highest summit amid the tablelands of western Tallery Mountain in eastern Summers County. Rising 500 feet above the surrounding tablelands, the summit was a landmark along the native trail which passed through the Pipestem, WV, area. Rising steeply but cresting distinctively in a somewhat flattened summit, the peak was a recognizable landmark to prehistoric travelers. Pipestem Knob is located within the boundaries of Pipestem Resort State Park, and its level crest is now mounted by a stout observation tower -- among the highlights of the visit to the state park. The forty-foot tower elevates the vista to 3,000 feet above sea level.
