Nock

Nock is a short cross-country ski route in New Hampshire's Belknap County Recreation Area, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The route is an out-and-back of about 0.38 miles, with a high point of 942 feet and a low of 916 feet. The climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 3% grade near the start. Winter is the natural season for this ski route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Lakeport show January highs around 30°F with about seven snow days, while March still averages four snow days. That station sits roughly 440 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the trail run a little cooler. Several other ski routes sit within a tenth of a mile, including Aim, Broadhead and Dryfire. Climbers can find Rines Hill about 9 miles away.
