The tower is 100 feet (30 meters) high, and has about 120 steps. It's very steep but there are stages where you can rest before tackling the next flight. There are no seats though.

The total length of the trail is 2.3km long. Taking time at the top of the lookout is a must while hiking this trail. The view is especially gorgeous in the fall at peak colour change when the leaves are vibrant shades of yellow, orange and red. The Dorset Tower is both a great attraction and a historical landmark.
