Palmer Hill is a 1,145-foot-tall (349 m) mountain in the Adirondack Mountains region of New York. It is located north of the hamlet of Au Sable Forks in Clinton County. In 1930, the Conservation Department built a 60-foot-tall (18 m) steel fire lookout tower and an observer cabin on the summit. Due to increased use in aerial detection for fire lookout purposes, the tower ceased fire lookout operations in early 1971. It resumed fire watching operations from 1979 to 1988, before being officially closed in early 1989. The tower still remains, but is on private property and is not open to the public.
