Whet to twice . This tower is a historical site, you can climb up directly, it is recommended to bring a light, because it is really dark, a little frightening, hahaha, but the scenery is very good after the tower, there is a grass in front of the tower, you can have a picnic. A particularly beautiful place where you can kayak and feed ducks and swans.

Norumbega Tower is in a nice location, but seems to have lacked care recently. Some trash and graffiti in the tower and trees have grown very close to the tower, hindering the view both of the tower and from the tower. Located in a nice wooded area with open forest floor and some game trails by the Charles River.

Fun small landmark to visit. The Norumbega Tower is a stone tower erected by Eben Norton Horsford in 1889 to mark the supposed location of Fort Norumbega, a legendary Norse fort and city. The tower is approximately 38 feet (12 m) tall, composed of mortared field stones with a spiral stone staircase.

This was absolutely such a cool find. My son and I hike all the time, always finding new places and I had no clue this hidden gem existed!

The tower is nice to look at, makes a good motif for a photo. However, the view from the tower is somewhat disappointing.

Vikings. Need I say more. The tower itself on the inside is pretty dirty from littering but it's still pretty cool
