We've located all fire towers known to be still standing in New England, mapped and categorized them based on the interests of trail users. Some fire towers are safe to climb, though you're likely to find the cabin atop the towers locked. Please respect locked gates and posted signs and do not climb any fire tower that may be unsafe.

Fire Towers marked with a 🏆 are listed on the Fire Tower Quest organized by the Division of Forests & Lands. A link to the Tower Quest brochure is available at this NH Fire Tower Quest link. Trailspotting's larger fire tower list includes some destinations that are harder to reach and often require longer hikes.
