The Dorset Scenic Lookout Tower, situated in Lake of Bays, Ontario, invites visitors to ascend to the observation deck located 142 meters above Lake of Bays for a breathtaking view from the tree-top lookout and ground level lookouts. The site offers various facilities including picnic sites, restrooms, a tourist information kiosk, a gift shop, and a hiking trail.

Operated by the Township of Algonquin Highlands, this iconic tower was revamped in 1967 and stands at 30 meters high, welcoming over 60,000 visitors annually. Dogs on leashes are permitted at the Tower Park and on the Trail but are restricted from the actual Tower. Visitors are advised that the Tower is an attraction where they utilize it at their own risk.

Access to the tower is available at a nominal fee, with different rates for walk-ups, vehicles, motorcycles, and larger groups. The Tower operates seasonally from May to October, with varying hours during different periods. Notably, during the autumn peak season, the site experiences a surge in visitors, attracting over 600 vehicles in a single day.
