Distance: .4 Miles
Difficulty: Easy
Poet’s Seat Tower is not much of a hiking trail, but worth the stop if you are in Greenfield, Massachusetts. Located on Mountain Road is a small parking lot leading up to Poet’s Seat Tower. The “trail” is an old tarred road that leads to a beautiful lookout.
Follow the road up a gentle incline for .4 miles to the Poet’s Tower.
You can climb to almost the top of the tower, where you get sweeping views of the town of Greenfield.
If you walk a few feet past the tower there are a few slate seats where you can sit and enjoy the view. I think this would be a perfect spot watch the sunset.
If you are in the area this is a great place to stop to check out the tower and the view.
