Every since I was a young child I have always loved fire towers. The thrill of climbing up to the a tower and the beautiful panoramic views. Growing up in Northern Maine I had access to some pretty good ones. There are also some great ones in Southern New Hampshire.
Federall Hill Fire Tower in Milford, NH is a fun one. The trail head is located on Ponemah Hill Road in Milford. The access road is gated so you need to park nearby and walk up. It less than a half mile walk up to the fire tower. The walk is a steady incline up.
There is not view from the base of the fire tower.
If you climb up it there are beautiful views of Southern NH and the Monadnock Region.
Always use caution when climbing a fire tower to ensure your safety. Every time we have visited we observed a lot of broken glass around the base. If you are bringing your dog please use caution.
This is a good fire tower to do if you are working on your Fire Tower Quest Patch.
