Mount Watatic
About
Mount Watatic is a summit in Massachusetts, rising to 1,835 feet about 6 miles from the town of South Ashburnham. It sits in a cluster of trails and climbing areas, with several routes and destinations within a short drive. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 79°F and September highs near 71°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect cooler temperatures up top. The Watatic Summit hike lies about 0.6 miles away, and the Access Road ski touring route is just 0.1 mile off. Farther out, the Former Wapack Trail is about 5 miles away, and the Squannacook River offers canoeing roughly 9 miles from the summit.
