Today Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to the High Rock Park, Tower and Observatory in Lynn, Massachusetts. I had been curious about this Tower for some time, so today was the day. The Tower is approximately 85 feet tall and provides views of Boston, Nahant, Swampscott, and the Atlantic Ocean. It is found in a seven-acre city park. On occasion the Tower is open to the public, and visitors can view the Tower’s telescope.
We had a quick Adventure to High Rock Park, Tower and Observatory. I decided to take a familiar walk nearby before heading to the Tower. Today was another dark and dreary New England day, no sun to be seen. Upon driving up the hill to the Tower, I was impressed, quite lovely. We walked around this small Park checking out various views of the Tower and out over the nearby cities. The Park was quiet, with just several visitors nearby. There were a couple large rocks, but really not much to see besides the outdoor view of the Tower. I actually had checked with the town about the Tower being open, and they reported it would resume when the weather was a little warmer…although I neglected to ask about dog visitors – oops. So glad we could check out this unique Tower today (This blog will not be rated).










I do like a climbable tower.

I’ve lived in NH for 25 years now, and was searching for something in NH when I found your blog. Wow, what a wonderful blog and photos. When I happened upon this entry, I couldn’t believe you actually visited High Rock Tower. My childhood home was built into the cliff below the rear of the tower! Much of my family lived in houses and buildings on that lower hill and base!

Thank you so much for sharing!! We got to NH often so let me know if you need more ideas. Sounds like you lived in a beautiful location! Unfortunately it was a dark day when we visited but it was a lovely Tower! I did at least one other in Lynn, it was the coastal walk and Red Rock Park:
