The Mountain, the Trails, the State Park

This site contains information about many of the trails that climb and traverse Mount Monadnock in southwestern New Hampshire. You'll find links, on your left, to specific Mount Monadnock trail descriptions, route suggestions, maps, etc. Or you could just learn a little about the mountain and surf your way through the site. Although this is not an official site for Mount Monadnock, it may help answer any questions you have, or I can try to direct you to those who can help. Scroll down for weather and a road map.

Hiking is the primary activity on the mountain, however picnicking and camping (at the State Park campground) are popular. Winter hiking is also popular, along with cross-country skiing.

The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests is attempting to raise $760,000 to conserve several parcels of land (almost 400 acres!) adjacent to other conserved lands on Mt. Monadnock. They’ve raised over $300,000 to date, thus have a long way to go! Fortunately, the deadline has been extended to March 31, 2012. Go to their homepage where there is more information: SPNHF. There is a hike planned for Feb. 25 – so mark your calendar.
