Rising to 2,001 feet in the Belknap Range of central New Hampshire, this modest summit sits among the rolling hills overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee and the surrounding Lakes Region. As one of the Belknap 12 peaks, it draws hikers seeking to complete this popular regional challenge. The trails leading to the summit wind through mixed hardwood and conifer forest, offering a pleasant woodland hiking experience characteristic of the lower Belknap peaks. While largely forested, clearings and open areas can provide glimpses of the surrounding landscape and nearby summits within the range. The moderate rating makes it accessible to hikers with a reasonable level of fitness, and it pairs well with other Belknap 12 peaks in the area for those looking to combine summits in a single outing. Its elevation just cresting 2,000 feet gives it a satisfying distinction within this compact and hiker-friendly range.
