About Honey Hill

Honey Hill is a summit in southwestern New Hampshire, about 2.6 miles from the village of West Swanzey. It sits in a cluster of short local trails, which makes it an easy addition to a day spent walking or exploring around the Swanzey area. Late summer into early fall is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby Keene weather station run to highs around 73°F and lows near 47°F in September, while winter brings highs near freezing and several snowy days each month from December through February. The closest trails are the Blue Trail, under a mile away, and the Tippin Rock Trail, just beyond it. Carroll's Hill Path lies about 1.4 miles off, and climbers can find Revolutionary War Boulder roughly 3 miles from the summit.
