Deers Leap is a climbing area in New Hampshire, about 2.3 miles from the town of Windham. It sits close to a cluster of hiking trails, so it works well as a stop for climbers who also want to stretch their legs on foot. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Hudson show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 83°F. The Deer Leep Main Loop starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Old Path Loop is about 0.7 mile off. Tom's Trail / blue Loop and the McIlvaine Town Forest Loop Trail (Red Circle Markers) are each about 1.1 mile away. For more climbing, the Pelham Tree Farm Boulders are roughly 5.5 miles away.
