| Ontario Fire Towers Still Standing |
| * (cupola removed-now used as communications tower) Visiting these tower sites is one thing but climbing is another. It is hazardous to try to climb one and that is why the MNR has removed the bottom 20 ft of ladder. The MNR no longer maintains them so please refrain from climbing. If anyone has photos of these or if you know of more please let me know.
