Description

Added by The Outbound Collective

Mount Pigsah is a gorgeous hike in Willoughby State Forest with scenic views of Lake Willoughby.

The hike to Mount Pigsah is 4.1 miles out and back, just outside of Westmore, Vermont. The trail is most commonly used from March through October, but some people traffic this trail in the winter with crampons and sturdy hiking boots. This is an incredibly dog friendly trail.

Be aware that there are two trails: North and South, which do not connect at the bottom. The South trailhead has the main parking lot. No matter which trail you take, you’ll come across multiple viewpoints - all of which are incredible.

Mount Pinacle

We came from Parc de la Gorge on Ch de Baldwin-Barnston road, which leads you to the Parc Harold F Baldwin area. Turn left onto Ch May and park your car in the parking area that is next to a small shop/cafe. There are signs at this point. Walk up the hill a bit until you reach the blue Mt. Pinacle sign and the trail on the right of the road. The hike up took us about 20 minutes to the awesome ...

Hike to Elmore Mountain Fire Tower

If hiking in off season when the park is closed, begin from the lower parking lot or the "day use area". If hiking while the park is open you can drive to the upper parking lot (subtract about 1.4 miles from total distance)Beginning from the lower parking lot make you way through the gate and into the park. Turn left and begin walking up the road for about 3/4 of a mile. Here you'll reach the t...

Hike to Owl's Head Trail Overlook

Starting at 1746 ft of elevation, this easy 3 mile hike (RT) pays off with a dramatic view of Lake Groton, Kettle Pond and the Green Mountains of Vermont. The trail head begins in New Discovery Park, along the dirt road to Osmore Pond. There is room to pull off the dirt road and park near the trail head sign.Ultimately, this trail only has about 200 ft of elevation change as it threads its wa...

Hike the Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook Yellow Trail

Hiking trails at Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook are spread into 3 sectors to reveal the park’s attractions.For a day trip I will suggest doing the yellow trail, which is the one we did. It will bring you directly into the heart of the Gorge. It is quite a short hike, 1h30-2h00 and you'll get the chance to walk on the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in North America. Be careful if you are af...

Summit Mount Waumbek via the Starr King Trail

The hike starts out at the Starr King trailhead because you will summit Starr King Mountain (3,907 ft - so close to being a 4000 footer!) before moving on to Waumbek. The 2.6 miles that it takes to get to the first summit are gradual and forgiving. The majority of the total elevation is completed during that time. The first 1.5 miles is through tall spaced out trees that let the sun shine throu...

Hiking at Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge

As hiking in the White Mountain area goes, this is a pretty easy one. This is a family friendly hike along a rail trail and well maintained forest trails. The main attraction here isn't the difficultly. The main attraction here is the spectacular views and the abundant wildlife.This trail begins on Airport Road in Jefferson, NH. If you are coming from Rt 116, the trailhead parking lot is ac...
