Get to know our fellow sustaining members! One of the most popular hikes in Massachusetts, this mountain is very rewarding in terms of views!
Mt. Watatic [1832 feet] stands as the southernmost
The Mount Watatic trailhead is located on the North side of Massachusetts Route 119 [Rindge State Road], about 1/2 mile east of the New Hampshire border, at the height of land just west of the center of Ashburnham, MA. If coming from the east go past the town of Ashby and stay on the road past the summit of Mt. Watatic. A small sign marks the entrance to a gravel parking lot. Additional parking is available along Route 119.
Another great little hike with Mike.
Thanks Mike that was a great first hike of the season for me.
This hike was a nice easy to moderate hike with fabulous views at the top. We were able to see Manchester NH and the skyscrapers in Boston. Looked as though we could see 80-100 miles. The weather was great, a bit breezy on top.
It was awesome to see some old friends and meet new ones.
Thanks again to Mike and Jon.
