Stavros Reservation, Nature reserve in Essex, Massachusetts.
The 74-acre Stavros Reservation includes 50 acres of salt marsh and White's Hill, offering views of Crane Beach and Essex River estuary.
Lamont G. Burnham constructed a 50-foot tall tower at the summit of White's Hill during the 1880s, with its fieldstone base still present today.
The Trustees of Reservations maintain this land since 1986, promoting environmental education and sustainable conservation practices throughout the property.
Visitors can access the reservation through a 3/4-mile loop trail that leads to an open meadow, with parking available on Island Road.
The hilltop location serves as an observation point for herons and raptors migrating through the Essex marshes toward their nesting colonies.
