I was looking for a different place to go and I found this place. So I start to read all the reviews and I just went with my wife and we have a great time. We took some videos and pictures. It's really a well kept secret. I never knew about this place before. Well, if you want to have... More

I always bring my company here for the amazing view of both the bay and Scargo lake. It's a pretty spot and wonderful anytime of year.

The sights were amazing. It was a great place, all the kids, ages 5,8,11,14 enjoyed it. And we ate at Captain Frosty's, which was right down the street! Excellent food and ice cream too

Great Views, easy access, not to steep. Drive right up to the observation tower. There is a gate at the property but it looks only be closed from dusk to dawn.

It was fun. Bring your cameras. I bet it's awesome in the fall. Hold on while walking up the stairs. Great views of the bay and a lovely kettle.

I'm so blessed to have a family home nearby. A must for every visitor! On a clear day you can see the Provincetown Pilgrim Monument. The Princess Beach is nearby for fresh water swimming at Scargo Lake.

High above Scargo, the pond shaped like a fish, with a special Indian legend, and Cape Cod Bay. A little out of the way but worth the time to find it and pictures from the tower are priceless.
