Dorset Lookout Tower

Just fantabulous views of Dorset. Cute little gift shop too! Get there before four pm.

Nestled amidst a vast expanse of lush greenery, this beautiful tower offers breathtaking views stretching up to 15 miles of dense forest. As you ascend the tower, each step brings you closer to an enchanting panorama, culminating in a charming lookout box at the top. From this vantage point, you’re treated to a mesmerizing vista that includes a serene lake, the expansive forest, and a scattering of quaint houses nestled within the landscape.

Whether you’re planning a delightful picnic or just a brief visit to soak in the natural beauty, this spot caters to all. The tranquility of the surroundings provides a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Visiting on weekdays ensures a more peaceful experience, as the site is less crowded, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the serene environment.

A cute view in Muskoka. If you come here, definitely go to peek-a-boo rock too!

The tower is a great way to see how scared of heights you are, but feels very safe. It costs more $ to drive in with your car vs. parking elsewhere and walking in.

It is kinda an adventure!
Tower is sturdy, has non slippery steps- we visited while it was raining. Nice view from top. There are 118 steps.
