Summary
Join us for this moderate loop hike that begins with the Bearcamp Trail on Sandwich Notch Road. This moderately flat trail of 0.6 mi includes time along the Bearcamp River and a stop at Beede Falls and a view of Cow Cave. At 0.6 mi we join the Wentworth Trail and hike for 2.1 mi through beautiful forest to the peak of Mt Israel.If the clouds cooperate, we should see great views of the Lakes Region along the way and from the peak. From the summit we will descend 1.7 miles on the Mead Trail and then 1.7 miles Guinea Pond Trails, followed by a walk of about 2 miles on Sandwich Notch Road. The loop hike is about 8.2 miles and 1850 feet of elevation gain.
We'll eat lunch at the peak, so bring your lunch. Also bring or wear layers to accommodate late August temperatures. It's always important to bring at least 1 liter of water, rain gear, sunscreen, and bug spray.
Rain will cancel.
Directions To Trailhead Parking Lot
You can put "Beede Falls" into your GPS, but note that some GPS devices will direct you to go to far along Sandwich Notch Rd. The trailhead is in Sandwich Notch Park on Sandwich Notch Rd, 3.2 miles from Center Sandwich. From intersection of Rt 113 and Grove St, head northwest on Grove St and travel 2.5 miles (road changes name to Diamond Ledge Rd at some point and also becomes gravel road after 1.5 mi). The road then forks, and sign directs you to bear left for Sandwich Notch Rd. Go 0.7 miles. Trailhead parking lot is on right and labeled “Beede Falls.” Please give yourself a little extra time to accommodate travel on gravel roads.
