Mount Pawtuckaway
About
Mount Pawtuckaway is a summit of 991 feet in Pawtuckaway State Park in New Hampshire, about 6 miles from the town of Raymond. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable stretch for a visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Epping show September highs around 73°F with lows near 50°F, and July highs around 82°F. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. Climbers will find the Lower Microwave Area about 0.2 miles away and the Red Devil Area about half a mile off. Hikers can head to the North Mountain Trail or the Quarry Trail, both within about a mile.
