Scurvy Mountain Lookout

US Forest Service · Idaho

Scurvy Mountain Lookout in Idaho. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 722 public campsites we map in Idaho.

The popular lookout is perched on Scurvy peak at the end of trail #524 overlooking the Moose buttes, Cayuse and Kelly Cr drainages and Scurvy Lake. The first lookout was a platform built in 1917 with a cabin added in 1935. The present cab was built in 1952 that was gradually restored by volunteers over a 10-year span and became an inclusion to the National Register of Historic lookouts in 2004.
