Leadmine Mountain
About
Leadmine Mountain is a summit in Massachusetts, about 2.7 miles from the town of Holland. It sits at 967 feet, and several trails pass within a mile of it, making it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding area. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at E Brimfield Lake show July highs around 80°F and September highs near 72°F, with lows in the 50s and 60s. That station sits about 270 feet lower than the summit, so temperatures on top run a little cooler. The closest trail is the Lower Loop, about 0.3 miles away, and the Quinebaug River offers canoeing about 0.4 miles off. The Mountain Laurel Trail and Cow Stile Trail are both within a mile. For an overnight stay, Westville Recreation Area is about 2.7 miles away.
