Deer Mountain
About
Deer Mountain is a summit in northern New Hampshire, rising to 2,995 feet. The nearest town is Beecher Falls, Vermont, about 19 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July highs reach about 75°F with lows near 53°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at First Connecticut Lake. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up high run cooler. The Deer Mountain Firetower hike starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Deer Mountain Trail is about a mile off. Paddlers can reach the Connecticut River within about a mile and a half, and Third Connecticut Lake, about 2.6 miles away, offers lake fishing.
