    Within Shot Tower State Park, along New River Trail, you can climb to the top of the historic, 75-foot-tall Jackson Ferry Shot Tower. This structure was originally built over 200 years ago to produce munitions for the area's early settlers. Visitors can take a ranger-led or self-guided tour through the area for free.
