Phantom Tower is a climbing area in Massachusetts, about 1.4 miles from South Foxboro. It sits among a cluster of bouldering spots, with Cairn Cave and Nose Boulder, The both about 0.1 mile away, and Stimulus Boulder at a similar distance. The area is close to several short hikes, including the Acorn Trail and Healthy Heart Loop, each about 0.6 mile off. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Walpole show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 83°F. Lake Pearl, about 3.6 miles away, offers fishing, and Abbott Run, a canoeing spot in Rhode Island, is roughly 9 miles from the area.
