Inscription
Abenaki Tower, dedicated in 1924, is located on N'dakinna, the traditional lands of the Abenaki Peoples past and present. The lookout is located near the junction of two trails: the Sobagw (Ocean) Trail and the Awasebi (Beyond the Water) Trail. Built by residents of Melvin Village, the tower offers the public free access to enjoy the expansive and beautiful view of the lake and mountains.
Its name is meant to recognize the importance of these trails as well as the historical and continuing contributions of the Indigenous Peoples to the area.
