    Hiking

    The Red Hill Tower was built in 1927 by the state of New Hampshire to replace the lookout tower on Mount Israel. The original 8.2-meter-tall metal tower, with a 3 x 3-meter wooden cabin, was raised to 16.8 meters in 1972 and equipped with a visitor viewing platform. After being closed by the state in 1981, the tower is now operated by the Moultonborough Fire Department on land owned by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust and is the only remaining operating lookout tower in New Hampshire not owned by the state.

    Wonderful view.

    And if you're lucky, you might even get to go all the way to the top, to the fire department's lookout.
