Greenfield State Park is a hidden gem located in the Monadnock Region mostly known for its camping. In the summer it can be a popular day use area for swimming. Recently, I learned there is a nice little hiking trail located in the park.
Hogback Trail is located to the right of the Campground Office. We parked at the first parking lot when you enter the park, which is a small lot on the right. We walked up the road past the office to the trailhead on the left.
The trail went down a little hill to Hogback Pond. From here you can go left or right as the trail goes along the pond.
We went right and followed the trail along the pond. There are several spots where you get beautiful views of the pond.
There are benches along the trail if you want to sit and enjoy the scenery.
The trail was not marked, but it was easy to follow around the pond despite some trails that did lead off from the main trail.
The total distance from the parking lot around the pond and back was 1.6 miles. This was an easy hike with some beautiful water views. If you are visiting Greenfield State Park or are in the area make sure you check out Hogback Trail.
