Nipmuck is a mountain biking route in Massachusetts, about 1.7 miles from the town of Wendell. It is a short, moderate out-and-back ride of about 2 miles, with a total elevation gain of 607 feet and a high point of 1,159 feet. The climb is steepest at about 0.8 miles, where the grade reaches 14 percent. The most comfortable months for riding are late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Orange run from highs around 70°F in May to about 84°F in July, with September easing back to the mid-70s. That station sits roughly 600 feet lower than the route's high point, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Bear Mountain Trail and Hannah Swarton Trail are both about 0.8 miles away. Climbers can head to Mormon Hollow, about 1.9 miles off, and anglers will find the Millers River about 3.5 miles away.
