The Blue Hill Observation Tower is a steel fire lookout tower in the Blue Hills Reservation, a state park in the Boston metropolitan area. It was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The tower is in the town of Milton, Massachusetts. The tower was open seasonally and offered a panoramic view of the Boston skyline, the coast of Massachusetts and beyond.
