Osgood Hill

New Hampshire

About

Osgood Hill is a summit of 2,240 feet in Nelson Town Forest, part of the City Hill Lot, about 6 miles from the town of Hancock, New Hampshire. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show September highs around 73°F with lows near 51°F, and July highs around 83°F. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. The Ridge Trail (Orange) and the Kulish Ledge Trail (yellow) both start about 0.1 mile away. Climbers can head to Choss Overhang, about 4 miles off, and paddlers to Otter Brook, about 5.5 miles away.
