About OWEN HILL (Owen Lookout Cabin)
Owen Lookout was designated as a Recreation Site in 2009. In the summer of 2012, the Houston Hikers Society received a grant from the Ministry of Forests Centennial Fund to restore the structure. Notable features include a wrap-around deck and amazing views. Note that an outhouse does not exist currently.
Owen Lookout provides a good view of Morice Mountain and the Morice River valley. The top of Nadina Mountain can also be seen. Nearby, the Owen Flats Rec Sites offer good camping amenities along the banks of the Morice River.
