Overlook

Overlook is a cross-country ski route in the Belknap County Recreation Area in New Hampshire, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The route is short, about half a mile out and back, with a total climb of about 150 feet. It starts at roughly 1,100 feet and reaches about 1,180 feet, with the steepest stretch near the beginning at about 10% grade. Winter is the natural season for skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Lakeport show January highs around 30°F with lows near 12°F and about seven snow days. That station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. Several other ski routes sit about a tenth of a mile away, including Chute, Broadhead and Target. Climbers can find Rines Hill about 9 miles off.
