Grantham Mountain Trail — Attraction in Grantham

Despite the Google Maps marker (hopefully being moved) there is no parking at the intersection of View Place and Miller Pond Road. View Place is marked "Private Drive, No Trespassing". You can park at Fisher Meadow Trailhead, or proceed to the end of Miller Pond Road, which becomes unpaved, then according to the signs unmaintained (but it's passable at slow speed). It ends in a relatively large free town parking lot (gravel). The road behind the gate goes to a deforested area; the path entrance to the right of that goes past a shelter building with broken outhouse and connects to the "Croydon Turnpike" which is a logging road.

Lots of mud in May; at some points (north of the Plainfield border) we had to abandon the logging road and walk along de facto parallel trail just uphill in the woods. Very buggy. The peak of Little Mount Washington has a nice view and some cute kitch, but not enough wind to blow the bugs away, so we couldn't stay long. Maybe a good winter hike when the bugs are dead and mud is...

I lived out here for 3 years, I attached a map of some extra trails. 1-Mt. Snow, the highest accessible peak with nice views of the pond, pines on the west side. The exact trail up to the top is still unclear to me and I have done it 10+ times from all sides, but the eastern approach I drew is the easiest. 2- a ledge that overlooks grantham with large birds that fly around it.

The area is best in winter when you can follow the snowmobile trails which are packed and groomed. In Spring and early summer it is so buggy it is unpleasant. Summer is alright, Fall is pretty of course. It is rarely busy other than a weekend snowmobile day. You can basically go wherever you want. A barbed wire fence surrounds the private hunting area and you can't go there. I once saw a moose back there but it took me 3 days of tracking, so not a...

Beautiful but short hike starts at the end of Miller Pond rd where it intersects the class 6 Croydon Turnpike. Enough room to park a couple of vehicles here. Follow the turnpike until you reach Chase Pond where the trail forks, bear right here and again at the next fork. Follow the wide and well worn path moderately uphill until arriving at a marked spur trail to the right, take this short path uphill through a pine forest and then less steeply over open rocky slabs to the summit....
