Salt Hill is a 699-foot-tall (213 m) mountain in the state of New York. It is located southeast of Peekskill in Westchester County. In 1950, a 73-foot-tall (22 m) steel fire lookout tower was built on the mountain. The tower ceased fire lookout operations at the end of the 1971 fire season, due to the increased use of aerial detection. The tower was later cut down or pulled over by unknown individuals, and the remains are still on the summit.
