Fall weather is here again. And the temperature was perfect for a Sunday morning stroll up to the Stratham Fire Tower in Stratham Hill Park. Before this, I had never been to this fire tower.

Looking up at Stratham Fire Tower

When Liberty and I arrived at the parking lot, we were both surprised to see the lot almost completely full. We soon realized that there was a car show going on and lots of classic cars on display.

We started up the main trail that goes straight to the Tower. When we got there a few mountain bikers, and a few hikers/walkers were already there.

I didn’t want to leave Liberty by herself at the bottom, so I did not climb up the tower. I’ll have to comeback another time to see those views.

From there we decided to walk a some of other trails located in the park. The trails zig-zag round the park property and beyond.

Eventually we ended back at the fire tower and made our way down from there. The park seems to have a good mixed use between all the hikers and mountain bikers.

The trails are all in very good condition and well maintained. This a very beautiful park, I’ll have to come back and ride my bike around.

Lots of plaques and memorials at this park. This was my favorite. Abraham Lincoln’s Son read the Declaration of Independence on this rock.
