Lord Hill

About

Lord Hill is a summit of 1,249 feet in the Saco Ranger District of White Mountain National Forest in western Maine, about 14 miles from the town of Fryeburg. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 79°F with lows near 57°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Bethel. That station sits roughly 460 feet lower than the summit, so temperatures on top run a little cooler. Several trails start close by. Mine Loop and Nature Trail are each about 0.6 miles away, and Horseshoe Pond Trail is about 0.9 miles off. Climbers can head to Family Wall, about 1.7 miles away.
