Hidden Lake Lookout was built in late summer or fall of 1932 by the U.S. Forest Service and members of Larson Brothers Construction. The design was developed in 1930 by the Aladdin Company from Portland, Oregon, who was the principal supplier to the US Forest Service of pre-cut lookout houses.
The lookout was used during WWII as an Aircraft Warning System and staffed from 1951 to 1958. In 1961, it was restored by Dr. Fred Darvill and the Skagit Alpine Club.
Hidden Lake was added to the National Historic Lookout Register in 1996 and is one of two gable roof style lookouts that remain on the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie Forest, the other being Three Fingers.
