Lockes Hill
About
Lockes Hill is a summit in New Hampshire within the Kimball Castle land unit, about 5 miles from Laconia. The most comfortable months are late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show September highs around 73°F with lows near 52°F, and June highs in the upper 70s. That station sits about 550 feet below the summit, so temperatures on top run cooler. Several trails start close by. Lakeview Trail is 0.4 miles away and Quarry Trail is 0.5 miles away, with Blue Upper Loop and Brook Run, a cross-country ski route, about 2 miles off.
