The Town of Tamworth owns the Great Hill Tower.  It stands on state-owned land of the Hemenway State Forest.  The Tower provides fine views north to the Sandwich Range; east to Kearsage North, the hills of Conway, Madison, and Freedom; south to Ossipee Lake & the Ossipee Mountains; and west over Sandwich to the Squam Lake region.  It is accessed by several TCC trails.
