Forest trail rising to a classic fire tower overlooking Caldwell Lake — offers layered woodland compositions, reflective lake shots, and elevated vantage points for panoramas and fall color. Best at golden hour or blue hour for warm light and calm water. Trail is moderate; parking available at trailhead in Chillicothe. No fee; expect uneven footing and seasonal bugs. Quiet weekdays and autumn yield the best visuals.
