Dorset Scenic Lookout TowerThe township citizens are developing exciting plans to add some amenities to the location while keeping the area natural and free from commercialism.

With the assistance of the Tall Pines Snowmobile Club trails have been groomed. Snowmobilers and tourist visitors now have year round access to enjoy the location.

Toilets are located on site and there are two paved parking areas.

There is an extensive picnic area and maintained hiking trails.
