Leadmine Ledge
About
Leadmine Ledge is a summit in northern New Hampshire, about 1.3 miles from the town of Gorham. Its closeness to town makes it an easy objective to fold into a stay in the area. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Gorham show July highs around 79°F with lows near 55°F, and September highs around 70°F. That station sits roughly 785 feet below the ledge, so expect temperatures on top to run somewhat cooler. Several trails start close by, including the Rail Path, the Mahoosuc Trail and the Carter-Moriah Trail, all within about 1.6 miles. For an overnight, Rattle River Shelter lies about 3.8 miles away.
