Oak

Oak is a cross-country ski route in the Belknap County Recreation Area in New Hampshire, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The outing is short, with a round-trip distance of about 0.28 miles and a total climb of about 82 feet, so it works well as a quick addition to a longer ski day in the area. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Lakeport put January highs around 30°F with lows near 12°F and about seven snow days. That station sits roughly 655 feet below the route, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Several other ski routes lie close by. Maple and Fire Cut are each about 0.3 miles away, and Birch is about 0.5 miles off. Climbers can find Rines Hill about 9 miles away.
