About the Hike:
The unique wooden structure of the Abenaki Tower is a local attraction with nice lake views available at minimal effort. It is well worth the five minute walk on a graded dirt path to get to it. This public lookout tower has a storied history which can be explored in detail on the tower's website. From the enclosed wooden cab at the top, visitors enjoy views of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Belknap Range, which have been improved in recent years by tree clearing.
