The Barnett Knob Fire Tower is situated on the 4,665-foot summit and is accessible during the dry months of the year. The gate is sometimes open at the bottom, allowing you to drive up the mountain if you wish. The hike is mostly just on an old forest road, but the views are worth the trip. You can't actually access the cabin of the tower, but you can climb the steps up above the trees.
