100+ Years of
Sky Top Tower
One of Mohonk’s most exciting spots for families to visit is Sky Top Tower. Hike up the ridge, enter the tower, and take 100 steps to the top for amazing views. Standing tall since 1923, Sky Top Tower was originally constructed to be used as a forest fire lookout station. Earlier versions of the tower had succumbed to the elements, and after the passing of Mohonk’s founder, Albert K. Smiley, a committee of guests formed a plan for a memorial tower in his honor.
The tower was constructed out of excavated stone from the ridge it resides on. The excavation left a large pit directly under the tower, which was then converted into a working reservoir, which is still in place today.
