Located in Swanzey is a nice hike with a beautiful view. Located just south of Monadnock High School and the trailhead for Mt. Caesar on Old Homestead Highway is the trailhead for Honey Hill. The parking lot looks like you are parking in someones front yard, but you are not. There is enough room for 4-5 cars. You walk up the left side of the lawn to the start of the trail. There is a sign at the start of the trail.
From here there are some down trees and it is pretty muddy.
About the first third of a mile of the trail was a steady incline. Then the trailed level out for about seven tenths of a mile.
Half of the trail is owned by the town of Swanzey and the second half of the trail is privately owned. Please be respectful when hiking this trail.
There are two ways to get to the top. You can go left and follow the blue trail which is a gentle switchback up to the top. The other options is to go right and take the yellow trail, which is about the same distance about a half mile,, but maybe a little steeper. We made a loop and went up the blue and down the yellow.
Once at the top you have a beautiful view of Mt. Monadnock .
There is also a bench to sit and enjoy the view.
Roundtrip the hike is about three miles. This is a good trail for beginner hikers or those with children who can hike a small incline and up to three miles. I enjoyed the view with this trail, I just wish it was more of a panoramic view to see the other mountains in the area.
