The Arctic Point Fire Lookout is a 72-foot (22 m) tall fire tower^[2] located near Big Creek, Idaho. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1994. Its NRHP listing included two contributing buildings, a log cabin residence and a standard type outhouse, as well as one contributing structure, the fire tower itself.^[1]^[3]

The tower was built in 1936. It is an Aermotor Company tower topped with a 7x7 foot (2.1x2.1 m) galvanized steel cab and is the last tower of its type still standing in a wilderness area. The cabin was added as a residence for the lookouts in 1939. It remained in use for its intended purpose until 1997, when it was decommissioned.^[3]
