Dorset Lookout Tower Trail


The Dorset Tower is both a great attraction and a historical landmark. It was built in 1967 on the site of the orginal fire tower where rangers once kept an eye out for potentially disastrous forest fires. The trail begins behind the Dorset Heritage Museum and winds its way through a beautiful mixed forest from the base of the lookout hill to the top, and back down again.

The incline is fairly steep in places so sturdy shoes and a reasonable level of fitness are recommended. Taking time at the top of the lookout is a must while hiking this trail.
