Scargo Tower
Viewpoints, Dennis
Fodor's Review:
On a clear day, you'll have unbeatable views of Scargo Lake, Dennis Village's scattered houses below, Cape Cod Bay, and distant Provincetown from the top of Scargo Tower. A wooden tower built on this site in 1874 was one of the Cape's first tourist attractions; visitors would pay 5 to climb to the top for the views. That tower burned down, and the present all-stone 30-foot tower was built in 1901 to replace it. Winding stairs bring you to the top; don't forget to read the unsightly, but amusing, graffiti on the way up. Expect crowds at sunrise and sunset.
