From here on a clear day you can see Philly with a pair of binoculars. Its an amazing piece of history for Berks County as well. The site is the former location of a old hotel that burned down. There a few events every year that happens at the fire tower. The tower is only open certain weekends for a few hours.
Chill place, Great views of Reading and the mountains. Nice PPL running it.
