Chapin Hill is a 1,427-foot-tall (435 m) mountain in the state of New York. It is located southwest of Monticello in Sullivan County. In 1924, a 60-foot-tall (18 m) steel fire lookout tower was built on the mountain. Due to increased use of aerial fire detection, the tower closed at the end of the 1970 fire season, and was later removed.
