Robinson Butte Lookout is a fire lookout that was relocated from Blue Rock Ridge to this site in 1973-4. The following text comes from the National Historic Lookout Register's
datasheet for this lookout and reads:
The first structure at Robinson Butte Lookout on the Rogue River National Forest was a rag camp in 1917. In 1933 a 20’ pole tower with L-4 cab was built, and replaced with the current 53’ timber tower with R-6 flat cab (from Blue Rock) in 1974.
The lookout was closed the day our family visited the summit but there are nearby benchmarks and a geocache here to look for if the lookout is closed when you visit.
