    The view from Wright Tower is great, you have a nice view of Boston.
    Easy to reach with a short hike.
    Worth a visit.

    Hiking

    The beautiful stone tower was built in 1937 and restored in 2008 in honor of Elizur Wright, the initiator of Middlesex Fells Reservation. Enjoy a great view of the Boston skyline! You can reach the tower by hiking a half mile from the parking lot at the intersection of South Border Road and Governor's Avenue in Medford. It is also part of the Skyline Trail.

    Unfortunately, the entrance to the tower is locked.
