29: Saltonstall Equalization Tower

Owned by the Regional Water Authority and located on RWA property, adjacent to the Lake Saltonstall Water Treatment Plant. Formerly used to equalize pressure in the water distribution system when the system was primarily gravity-fed. A study was conducted by a consultant circa 2000 that deemed the interior unsafe, but improvements were made to the tower exterior.

I visited a couple of times when I worked a the RWA but the door was welded shut.

31: Air Tower - Merritt Parkway Tunnel Ventilation Shaft

Located in West Rock Ridge State Park, along Baldwin Drive. I've visited a couple of times but I never tried opening the door (oddly), which apparently can be opened fairly easily.

Apparently there is a ladder inside leading to an upper level.

Tower has its own Facebook Page:

35: Boothe Memorial Park Clock Tower

Recently visited, and the building is open.  There is a second level but I couldn't figure out how to get up there.  Not sure how far up in the tower you can go, probably a ladder or something.

53: Devil's Tower

Apparently built and owned by an eccentric artist, but also rumored to have been built by aliens. Access highly restricted. Visitors have been arrested for trespassing. Very mysterious.

54: Shell Island Tower

Shell Island is owned by the Greenwich Land Trust.  I've been told that they do host a couple of visits to the island every year, but the woman I spoke with was vague about tower access.  I'm on their email list for future updates.

More info here:
http://www.gltrust.org/index.php?p=pages&title=Coastal-Environments

I believe you can also reach the island from nearby Calf Island during low tide.  Calf Island is operated by the Calf Island Conservancy.

 
It appears the tower was recently renovated, so it's definitely accessible.
