PLEASE NOTE: AS OF 10/22, THERE IS AN ACTIVE WILDFIRE AT LAMENTATION MOUNTAIN.

Circle around Crescent Lake for an easy hike, or climb to the top of Chauncy Peak and head towards Lamentation Mountain along the Mattabessett trail – any of the options here provide interesting views and experiences.

REMEMBER: Follow basic hiking guidelines: Wear good shoes, bring water and simple first aid kit, plus a copy/phone photo of trail map. Check the weather ahead of time, if you go alone, let others know where/when you’re going. All participation is at your own risk. Find a nearby restaurant or ice cream shop to reward yourself after your hike!
