Carroll’s Hill Trail

Located on Westbrook Court in Swanzey, New Hampshire is the trailhead for Carroll’s Hill Trail. As you are driving up Westbrook Court there is a field on your right that has a small trail sign. You can drive into the field and park along the woods. We had my car and chose to park along the road. The grass was long so make sure you check yourself for ticks. Next to the parking area is a small trail sign marking the start of the trail.

The trail starts out fairly flat. There are some intersections in the trail that were well marked with signs with arrows on them pointing to the direction of the trail.

About halfway the trail got more steep. I would classify it as moderate for the Monadnock Region.

The last intersection in the trail directs you up to the viewpoint.

The view was beautiful as you are looking at the top half of Mount Monadnock.

There is a small bench to enjoy the view. There is a pretty steep drop off a cliff in front of the bench so use caution.

It was one mile up to the view point with about a half mile being a steady incline. The view are beautiful and you can get in a good workout in a short amount of time.
