Rising to 2,382 feet in the Belknap Range of the Lakes Region, this central New Hampshire summit offers a rewarding moderate hike with a surprisingly open, rocky summit that punches above its modest elevation. Hikers are treated to sweeping panoramic views of Lake Winnipesaukee and the surrounding lakes region, with the White Mountains visible on clear days to the north. The trail network on Belknap Mountain is well-established and accessible, featuring a historic fire tower at the summit that further extends the already impressive sightlines in all directions. As the highest peak in the Belknap Range, it serves as the crown jewel of the Belknap 12 peak list, making it a natural starting point or capstone objective for those working through the collection. The relatively short approach combined with above-treeline summit exposure makes this an excellent introduction to New Hampshire ridge hiking.
