Hurd Hill
About
Hurd Hill is a summit in southern New Hampshire, about 6.4 miles from the town of Hancock. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. At a nearby weather station, typical averages run to highs around 77°F with lows near 55°F in June and highs about 73°F with lows near 51°F in September. That station sits roughly 930 feet lower than the hill, so temperatures on top run cooler. Winters are cold, with typical January highs near freezing. Two trails start close by: the Wheeler Trail is about 0.7 miles away and the Osgood Hill Link Trail is about 0.8 miles away. Farther out, Otter Brook offers canoeing about 5 miles off, and Otter Brook Lake Recreation Area has camping roughly 6.3 miles away.
