This is a nice area to visit, you can drive or do the short walk up to the tower to see a great view of the valley and hills or choose multiple trails (one I had a hand in making for my eagle scout project) around the base or out across the ridge. You can hike to the bears den... More

I went here around 2 months ago, I found this place in this website and I kept forgetting to write a review, the view from here is very nice, I liked it very much. It seems like a nice place to relax and have a walk. The reason why I don't give it 5 stars is because the tower itself... More

Poet's seat has great views and if you like trail running this is a good place. There are trails along the bottom and top of poet seat at both parking locations. If you cross the street at the bottom, there are additional trails with great views.

Love the view! An especially lovely spot for leaf peeping in the fall. Easy to get to via car or on foot.

Nice place to stop before heading over the mountains. Great view of the entire area. Stop by during the balloon festival for an even greater treat. The climb up the stairs is easy, the gift shop is quaint and the place is a nice break from driving.

If you happen to be in town, this is a quick turn off one of the main roads. The stone tower is an attraction in itself, and has some interesting history. The views from it to the valley and hills are wonderful.

In recent years access is limited to pedestrians on foot. Very small parking lot with a 1/4 mile walk to the 3 story tower over looking the town of Greenfield. View in the Fall is fantastic, with the tree covered hills on the other side of the valley. Not for the handicapped at all.
