massive Dining area in the lodge |
All 60 rooms in the Lodge have windows
overlooking Blue Mountain Lake and the Petit Jean River Valley some 2,200
feet below (without the scaffolding, of course) |
Compare the size of the fireplace in the
Dining Hall to the size of the craftsman beside it |
Of course, the view from
any point of the lodge is nothing short of spectacular - this is a view
across the original terrace wall of the old lodge. |

Great pains have been taken to limit
environmental impact to the immediate job site - many are surprised of the
relatively small footprint for a project this massive |

Return of The Mt.
Magazine Lodge The original lodge was completed by the CCC in
1941. It remained in use until it was destroyed by fire in 1971.
The original lodge quickly became a favorite for
people from around the country. Many couples spent their honeymoons
at this lodge, as well as celebrating anniversaries there. |

After over 30 years, there will
once again be a lodge at the top of Mt. Magazine.
On Friday, April 9th, 2004, Park
Superintendent David Flugrad opened the ceremony to break ground for the
new lodge complex.
In the new lodge, all of the 60 rooms overlook the south bluff at the old lodge site, including a grand
view of Blue Mt. Lake.
