Mary’s Mountain Guided Snowshoe

Meet at Trail Head at end of Old Shaw Town Road
Freedom, NH
GMCG and Wendy Scribner, Natural Resources Field Specialist with UNH Cooperative Extension, will lead a group snowshoe trek up Mary’s Mountain in Freedom. Participants will enjoy a moderate, 1.5-mile round trip for beautiful winter views from open ledges overlooking Green Mountain, Ossipee Lake and Danforth Bay. Mary’s Mountain is a 944-foot peak located in the 2,661-acre Freedom Town Forest. The forest was established in 2005 as the result of a successful grassroots effort to permanently conserve the property by The Friends of Trout Pond, GMCG, and the Trust for Public Land. Participants should be physically prepared to climb a moderately steep incline in winter conditions. Dress appropriately for the weather and with proper footwear. Hiking poles with snow baskets are recommended. Meet just below the kiosk/trailhead off of Ossipee Lake Road in Freedom, located on Shawtown Road past the Danforth Bay Camping Resort. This event is open to the public and registration is required. A limited number of snowshoes are available to rent for $10/pair. Donations graciously accepted.
Brochures with a map are available at three kiosks on the property, and the map is online at townoffreedom.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Trailmap.pdf.
